friend is trying to convince me this is a common experience and I do not believe her, so
Do you expect to be paid back if you pay for something for your friend while you’re hanging out? (I.E. a ride, a meal, a trinket.)
Yes, always
Yes, but only if it’s above a limit of money
No, never
I don’t buy things for my friends.

For a more illustrative example, say you go to the movies with a friend and you buy them popcorn, do you expect them at some point to send you money back via cash or through an app of some kind? Will you be upset if they don’t?
#honestly i just expect to be treated with the same sort of courtesy and nothing more#i dont expect anything in return but i think theres a level of reciprocity required before you become someones wallet#but like only within their means and that doesnt always mean paid back in something#sometimes its just support kindness or a willingness to listen#but i think if they start expecting you to do that shit it becomes a major problem#but generally if you expect returns it needs to be highlighted before you buy something for them#i know someone who bought something for my friend without asking#something theyd never shown interest in mind#and she was like okayyyy you owe me this much money#terrible
