How do you stop feeling guilty about negotiating? I KNOW I should ask for more, but I always feel like I’m being difficult. My last job made it seem like asking for a raise was a personal attack on the company. Anyone else have this mindset, and how did you unlearn it?

Yes I feel too nervous to ask for a raise and sometimes applying for a job I'm good for but if the pay is high I'll apply to the lower paying job. I really wish I could cure this habit!

I want more money, I thought I'd be a multi-millionaire by now because of all the hard work I've done. But I want someone to give it to me, or appreciate my work and give it to me because I deserve it not because I had to pull teeth for. It sort of defeats the purpose of working right? I just have to be more demanding and the hard work I put in doesn't matter that much. Maybe I should take some classes for this, that teach me how to negotiate a salary!

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one.

I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?
