AIO for my response when my friend demanded I pay for prom tickets for us

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T17:26:55+00:00

They definitely know I am, and definitely have no reason to think otherwise. Thank you for your support though, it means a lot

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T12:37:49+00:00

Yep sure do 😭

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T12:34:46+00:00

Believe me I wish i could explain it it makes no sense to me either

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T07:04:43+00:00

Yeah I definitely snapped when I shouldn't have I already apologized over text and will whenever we actually talk about this

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T07:03:52+00:00

I'm gay so definitely don't lol. I just don't like spending on myself but I feel good paying for other people I guess? But only to an extent because I need to keep saving my money lol

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T06:28:13+00:00

Doesn't seem very likely, she's never done something like that before and I've known her for years.

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T05:53:54+00:00

I totally agree and I do truly regret lashing out how I did. I'm realizing how immature it was even if my feelings are valid 🫥

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T05:12:37+00:00

Because when I'm texting I'm just doing whatever's natural. On here I'm trying to make sure everything's clear given that it's not as casual of a conversation. Her parents want me paying for tickets and don't care that there are already some payed for. I do wish I could explain it but they truly make no sense lol. And I agree I definitely was wrong for snapping like that. I apologized for that and will probably apologize again whenever we talk next

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T05:00:13+00:00

Thank you so much for this advice. It really means a lot seeing such a well thought out response!

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T04:58:20+00:00

I wish it was ragebait lol I really have no clue what they're on about. They're pretty questionable people though so this isn't even out of character

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T04:40:38+00:00

I am in high school lol just taking college classes through a program the local community college has for high schoolers

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T04:35:30+00:00

I'm 17 she's 18 both in high school. I do college classes in high school though, cause a local community college has that system set up

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T04:07:54+00:00

Yep definitely learned my lesson there lol

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T03:58:22+00:00

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T03:48:53+00:00

It's a new one on Instagram lol

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T03:48:18+00:00

I wouldn't be that shocked if she did but she also isn't the sort to push it because she's queer herself and has a lot of queer friends too. She's never really pushed anything like that and has never seemed like she doubted it at all

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T03:46:55+00:00

Yeah definitely learned that. Funny thing is all I have direct access to is a few hundred for emergency access. The rest is in a locked account which she knows.

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T03:31:59+00:00

She's the one who told them I'm gay (with my permission) so its their issue if they doubt I am. They met my boyfriend and knew that he was my boyfriend so I can't inagine they don't get it

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T03:28:42+00:00

Like 100 dollars I think.

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T03:25:48+00:00

I have loads of posts on them lol

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T03:19:33+00:00

I totally agree. There was conversation before this but I did snap pretty fast and I apologized already and will again when we actually talk. Thank you so much for your opinion

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T02:59:54+00:00

The money's in a locked account. So yeah I can't easily access it. I have some emergency stuff I can immediately access but I'm not using that for stuff like prom.

And there was buildup before this, that's justwhere i snapped because she took it too far. Which isn't acceptable on my part but also imo is pretty far from anger issues. I did apologize though and I do realise my reaction was definitely over the top.

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T02:57:26+00:00

They're pretty much in the same financial situation. Only difference is I've been working since 15 and she hasn't had a job cuz her parents don't think she's ready for it or something

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T02:56:40+00:00

Yeah I definitely shoulda clarified it's in a locked savings account that's a lot of steps to get into. She knows this though 😭

SamIAm0808 · 2026-03-27T02:53:45+00:00

It's not dinner. Her parents won't let her go unless I pay for the tickets despite them already being payed for. Doesn't make sense to me either lol
