Yes you seem to have the tendency I think. Same with her coming to feed the cats. Just ask. Just take the offer. I can suggest this strongly because I too have that tendency to say no or say something unnecessary.
Just the other day I was texting with a mother in law of my best friend who just hs a baby. She lives far so she couldn't be here for the delivery. I was helping her by letting her know of the situation but I actually couldn't have helped her as much as I wanted because the labor took so long I ended up goin home when my friend actually delivered a baby. Anyway I was texting her from home and she was so appreciative of my effort and told me she really thanked me. I immediately said "I haven't done anything" Right after I texted that I realized again I did it again. Why couldn't I have just said "you are welcome" ?
I really think it's kind of my defense mechanism I need to work on. I tend to value myself much lower than people do. In result I always add something unnecessary to simple "Thank you" or "Would you do this?"
You and my goal both. We need to be able to just say "yes that'd be great, Thank you"
