It’s not about the money but about the principle, the friendship, the kindness…
Sometimes we get mad over something, and it defines us as a person when that wasn’t exactly why we are mad. In the case of this Reddit story, the user gets mad because she’s getting run over by her supposed friends, but as they are talking about money, it seems as if she was mad about the money. She isn’t. She is mad at the principle of having friends that don’t care enough about her to treat her with the due respect and avoid taking money from her. Is the fact that they preferred to take advantage of her instead of actually asking nicely for her help. Is the fact that they willingly made the decision to be bad friends.
Friendship is a valuable relationship between a group of people that is not just made between people who like to hang out together. It includes values that have to be taken into account between the members of the group. These values include respect, nice treatment, and basically being more than just a good person. You look out for your friends and always wish them the best. A friend is not trying to scam you for money or to make you look bad in front of somebody. A friend is someone who tries to bring the best in you, and who likes you for who you are, is like a family member you choose. If you don’t like them, why would you have them as friends?
The fact that this has to be explained. After all, they are still people out there justifying their horrible friendships because they don’t want to end them, and being alone is sad. If your friend is making your life harder the he is not only a bad person but also an ungrateful human being who doesn’t want to be a part of your life, or at least not as a friend, maybe they are just using you for money or resources. That is not a friend, that is a parasite.
