I really dislike when this occurs. It’s frustrating when someone claims to be your friend only to manipulate you into giving them something they want. Often, they don’t even know you well, or they might even be insincere. The ironic part is that once you fulfill their request, they revert to ignoring you entirely. If you’re particularly unfortunate, you might find yourself overwhelmed by others, and before you know it, you’ve lost everything you had.
In short: I can’t stand it when people try to guilt-trip others.
I completely understand where you’re coming from. It’s frustrating when people use friendship as a way to manipulate or get something from you. It feels so disingenuous, and it’s hurtful when they suddenly act like you don’t matter once they’ve gotten what they wanted. It’s tough to navigate those kinds of relationships, especially when you want genuine connections. Remember, you deserve friends who truly value you for who you are, not just for what you can offer. Stay strong, and don’t be afraid to set boundaries!
