My friend bought the same jacket as me! Do I have a right to be mad?
All my friends know that my absolute favorite shop is Jack Wills, and I try to dress to their style. My friend recently went and bought the EXACT same jacket as I have, despite knowing it was the one I had, and had saw me wear 101 times. She said she wouldn't wear it when we were all together, because she said that she knew I had it, but guess what she was wearing last time I saw her? Anyway, I'm saving up to buy a new one, just so she can wear her's whenever she wants. I know it's kind of mean, but is it okay to be angry? Thanks in advance.
I bought a close friend a christmas gift and didn't get anything in return, should I be upset?
Ugh, no. You don't buy someone a gift with the expectation of getting something in return. In that case it's not a gift. Gifts should be given for the joy of giving them, because we truly think the other person would appreciate and enjoy the gift and we want to see them enjoy it. That's it. If you are giving a gift for any other reason, don't give it. I don't want to be given something against my will and then to owe someone something for it. That's manipulation, not gift-giving. If you are upset about her breaking her word and not paying for the ticket, understandable BUT coercing someone into paying for something by guilting them into thinking they owe you something is not a gift, and frankly, I'd be pissed to receive a gift like that. And no it does not matter if she is well off. That doesn't make her obligated to get you a gift. Gifts are given freely because we want to give them. No one is under any obligation to give you a gift, ever. Don't give gifts if it's creating some contract in your mind that people owe you something for it. People will appreciate that much more than any "gift" you would get for them.
Would you still buy something for your friends upcoming birthday knowing that they didn't give you anything on yours? Why?
Yeah I would!Every time my husband buys me a gift, I give him a hard time because frankly, he sucks at gift giving and I don’t make it easy!To me, I don’t want suggestions on what to buy. I want to prove I know the person well enough to pick out a thoughtful gift. I also don’t like giving out hints at what I want, (I’ve recently abandoned that and now say what I want) because he should know me well enough!He tries, but usually falls short, or maybe he doesn’t try at all! Idk but his gifts typically suck! I’ve seen the gifts his family gives, they make my mouth drop with the lack of thought. Seriously, who buys their Mom shampoo?!?! A space heater if not asked for or needed?Anyway, after I complained about my gift one too many times he didn’t buy me a birthday gift! I swore up and down I wasn’t getting him anything!! I pretended not to get him anything, and guess what? He didn’t care!! He didn’t expect anything from me, and buying him gifts didn’t prove my love, nor did not buying him a gift say I didn’t love him! However, I enjoy gift giving! It makes me happy when someone opens a gift and is truly happy with what I got them.I’m selfish in gift giving because I enjoy giving people gifts as much, if not more, than they like receiving them!If he doesn’t give me a gift, it still makes me happy to give him one!
Do you tell your friends EVERYTHING?
you shouldn't tell her/him everything cause what if you had this really big secret that only you and your mom knew about and you told her and then like a week later you guys get in a fight and she like posts it on the internet or something!! so keep somethings to yourself and tell her to stop judging you so much!!! shes supposed to be your friend not your personality coach
I'm buying a dog without my parents knowing, what should I tell them?
Ok so my friend offered me a dog, I'm gonna buy it for 200$ and I'm supposed to get it tomorrow. I have the money and everything. The only problem is that my parents don't like dogs. So I was thinking of saying my friends mother died and is moving in an appartment on her own and I'm the only person she trusts with it cause she doesn't have close friends. I'm gonna tell my mom to trust me with this and if she sees that I'm not responsible enough, she can give it away. What do you think? Should I do it or not? And do you have any better ideas?
My girl friend got real drunk, and I let some of my friends have sex with her while she was passed out, she is?
real mad at me, and I know I shouldn't of done that, but it was so funny at the time. Anyway how can I make it up to her, flowers or take her shopping at her favorite store, or what would it take from your boyfriend
How do I buy my first bra without my mom knowing and I buy it myself?
I remember I was super embarassed about asking my mom about bras, so a friend of mine (in the same situation) and I got her older brother to drop us off at the mall (not telling him what we were getting.) We went to a larger department store that we felt would be less conspicuous and picked a couple out each and bought them with lunch/pocket money we had saved up. Then we each bought a cheap shirt, kind of as a decoy, so if anyone asked what we bought at the mall, we could say a shirt. You should try and find a nice sales lady to help you. It may seem embarassing to ask a stranger about bras but she has most likely seen it all and will be more than happy to help you. Also, make sure you try the bra on before buying it- especially if you have never worn one before, you won't know if it will fit without trying it out.
Should I buy my friend a present for her birthday?
I'm a junior now and we've been friends since the beginning of high school. We've been best friends since then but now we kinda ehh. But she's still a close friend. My birthday's after hers if that helps in any way. Freshman year : I bought her a present for her birthday but she didn't get anything for mine. We got each other Christmas presents. Sophomore year : I got her a birthday present and she didn't get anything for mine. I got her a small Christmas present but she spent all her money on her then boyfriend. Junior year : We got each other Christmas presents. So should I get her a present? We haven't hung out since September and now she wants to hang out the week before her birthday (cus we have a school break that week) so would it be mean if I didn't get her a present? Idk if this helps but her family doesn't have a lot of money & she knows I have quite a bit /:
