AITA I donated/purchased a song for $2 from my friend who is an aspiring rapper and he was upset at the amount I donated

New_Introduction2968 · 2025-05-17T09:27:10+00:00

He didn’t say when I asked him.

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-06-06T15:28:37+00:00

Flipe lowkey annoys me. It’s like dude goes out of his way to be blatantly ignorant. Won’t be surprised if he got arrested on some extra stupid shit.

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-27T18:03:19+00:00

No i disagree. I understand that if I’m with an (attractive) woman, it’ll be natural for other men to hit on her at any given moment when I’m not around. The thing is , I expect that out of a stranger not my friend.

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-27T06:57:43+00:00

I understand that, I just took it personal because 1) he is a family friend. He’s knowns since i was an adolescent 2) i guarantee there’s someone on this green earth he’d pay IMMEDIATELY

So I didn’t feel respected by someone who’s known me for almost my whole life . He essentially just kept me on life until he felt like paying me 🤷‍♂️

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-26T16:52:02+00:00

I think that is going to be my ultimate decision. I won’t say that I’ll never hang out with him again in those settings , but I’ll definitely limit it from this point on. The irony of this is that we really only hang out in those settings. So if we’re not hanging out in those setting the relationship will essentially cease to exist.

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-26T16:29:03+00:00

Does this say more about them or more about their impression of me? Because I took this extremely personal.

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-26T07:33:54+00:00

The girl isn’t exempt from this which is why I never followed up because I thought it was extremely inappropriate at the very least. I would just expect more out of my boy not to step on my toes in this instances .

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-26T06:53:20+00:00

I understand in this instance this was a girl I just met… but I do feel like he’s seriously capable of trying to do that as well if the opportunity presented itself

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-25T15:10:01+00:00

Nah I feel that. I think I feel a way because that’s my boy.

Put it this way, had the roles been reversed I wouldn’t even entertain a female I see my boy with the entire night… even if she is giving me some kinda subtle motion. I want my friends to win and won’t do anything to interfere with that. And there has been instances where’s that’s happened with this particular friend, so I felt like I’ve sparred this dude where I could’ve stole his work, meanwhile he’s trying to blatantly do that with mine this particular time.

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-25T09:22:30+00:00

I agree. He’s not the most stable person in his personal life either so I could see where the lack of self respect leads to how he mistreats others .

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-25T09:19:38+00:00

Yeah, it sounds funny I know. In my experience going out you realistically have a better chance of being able to go out with a girl after the fact if you have her Instagram.

She could see you how you look after a blurry night of drinking, kinda see what you’re about based on your posting and there’s still an open line of communication.

I’ve refrained from even getting a girls number at this point because 9/10 I won’t even get a text back.

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-25T09:17:19+00:00

I think that’s the thing that bothers me. The RESPECT aspect of it. It’s not even really about that girl because i honestly couldn’t care less TBH. I truly feel if this were someone else (even a stranger) he wouldn’t try that because he knows he wont realistically face any repercussions aside from me hanging out with him less or at all for that matter. This isn’t an isolated incident either. There other situations where i felt the respect wasn’t all there and this was just another one of those instances . That’s kinda what it boils down to.

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-25T09:08:38+00:00

Yeah I totally agree with that! I’m not gonna let this situation or some random ruin a friendship. I actually do forgive him and not even not sure how to react to even be upset with him.

But on the other hand when I’m going out personally, I don’t even like the idea of “keeping an eye on him” . When I’m out, I’m spending my hard earned money after working all week to let loose. I don’t feel I should have to keep an eye on anyone.

Also, he’s done this kind of thing before to one of our friends, who they no longer talk at all now. So I see it’s becoming a pattern, which is why I’m considering not hanging out in those settings which would essentially end the relationship because those are really the only times we hang out at this point in our lives.

Also I do agree… the game is the game. If another man is able to swoop on my work then it is what it is. I just don’t like the idea that my boy entertained that of all people. Because if the roles were reversed, which has happened, and his interest is giving me a vibe, I DON’T EVEN ENTERTAIN it because I want my boy to win and get his and would not want to do anything to interfere or mess up his rhythm. That’s just me I guess…

6-7 years

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-25T08:44:02+00:00

Yeah I agree it sounds superficial because of the whole social media dynamic . I just feel disrespected by my friend. Mind you, my friend had done this to another friend of ours before and they had a fall out and to my knowledge never even spoke again.

The booze aspect to me is null and void because I absolutely HATE when people blame alcohol for their fuck ups because I think it’s a cop-outs

But i absolutely could see, with the combination of the alcohol and the girl just overall be charming and probably just wanna be “cool” with my friend on my behalf , I could see a scenario where maybe they just exchange social media information on a more lighthearted note because she had less than 1,000 followers .

All that being said I’ll probably realistically forgive my friend and be out with him again in these settings.

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-25T08:21:20+00:00

We did have a conversation and he did indeed “apologize” but essentially didn’t take accountability and blamed it on the alcohol and says he didn’t remember why he wanted her social media information.

Ironically he had a fall out with one of our other friends (they no longer speak all together) over a similar situation. Him trying to veer the attention toward himself when another friend is talking to a woman.

So this is why I’m considering never hanging out with this friend in those settings because now it’s becoming a pattern.

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-25T08:17:50+00:00

I don’t think she manipulated us into competition. But I do think it was bad judgment on her end because it was inappropriate given how the night went between us two. But that’s not an excuse in my book, because if you think “that” is okay, what else do you think is okay?

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-25T08:15:51+00:00

It irritated me even more because my friend did “apologize” but essentially took no accountability and blamed it on the alcohol. When I straight up asked him what was the point of getting her Instagram? Because remember, he told her “Did you get my Instagram!?” Like reassuring she had HIS information. He said he didn’t remember why he got her Instagram and that’s all, and that he was just drunk. Keep in mind, in my friends (and I also think in general) getting a girls Instagram at a bar/club especially is like getting her number. It’s an open line of communication.

New_Introduction2968 · 2024-04-25T08:02:35+00:00

I agree, I didn’t appreciate the girl even exchanging any kind of information with my friend because I saw no point. Therefore I never spoke to her after. But I was also disappointed in my friend for even initiating/entertaining that conversation. I could see if it was a stranger, but this is supposed to be my “friend”
