Friends & Money
Im having an internal issue of accepting assistance or help from my friends? Im currently unemployed because of a knee injury.
When my friend group(s) want to do something my homies are always down to cover my part of the payment but I just feel weird about it more times than not even though I let them know I appreciate it when they do. Ive always done things for them in general money related, items, and just looking out when they need cause they’re like my brothers but I feel weird accepting help in this time of my life monetary wise because I know it’s tough for most people. It’s caused me to not even go to some hang outs or events even though they try to force me to come and I end up missing memorable moments. I just feel bad about them paying my way consistently right now.
We’ve all been friends since sophomore year of high school (25 y/o right now) so we’re really all close but I don’t know accepting the help just makes me feel a way. Summer is coming up and plans are being made and I’m just like “yeah…” 😭. No one besides them knows I’m currently unemployed they’ve all kept the “secret” I guess.
