How comfortable would YOU be asking your parents for money?

I'm not comfortable at all, I've been working since I've been 13 years old. I even paid for my clothes, lunches, books. etc. in High School. My parents have always been strict and never given me any hand outs. I've asked to borrow money until I got my pay check and they've always lectured me about paying it right back to them...which I always did. I haven't ask that out of them since I was in my early 20's though. My parent don't give me anything. Not even for my birthday or Christmas. So yeah, I don't feel comfortable at all asking them for money.
