I have this friend from school. Recently, we just started getting close. She’s a cool girl, but there are some things she does that I find weird. She usually comes to my house to sleep over sometimes, and I honestly don’t mind. The issue is when she comes, she automatically expects me to feed her. She won’t eat until I want to eat, then she’ll expect me to use my money and get food for both of us. I usually have a few foodstuffs at home, and I’m not stingy with them, so she’s free to take them. But she won’t. She’ll only take them when she sees I’m not buying food. Also, if we are entering public transport, she expects me to pay. I used to pay before, but I stopped because why won’t she pay or offer to pay for her own transportation? Many times, I’ve seen her hold her money, but she’ll wait till I pay to see if I’ll pay for two or just myself before she now pays her own. If we want to get something, she just expects me to automatically pay for it, and if I ask her for her cut, the whole atmosphere just feels off. Personally, I’m someone that doesn’t like to feel indebted to anybody, so if someone offers me something, no matter how little, I always try to repay it, or I just entirely refuse the gesture sometimes. So maybe based on how I am, I’m now taking the matter too far. Am I taking it far?
