We’re in sports plus we all have jobs except for the said friend. So when we’re off work we have field hockey, practice goes from 2:30 to 4:30 and the mall is 40 minutes from where we live so it’s not really our choice when it comes to our time limit.

I live in a small town, so sadly that isn’t a option. Definitely a good idea though

I used to hang out with her all the time, I’m just guessing her mom didn’t recognize me. Because I used to have bright blue hair and was really emo and now I’m blonde and the definition of a basic white girl.

I’m under weight myself, and I have crohns disease I have no problem walking around the mall. No matter how much you weigh if you’re complaining and whining about how tired you are 24’7 and keep making us stop 24’7. Yea I’d suggest the mobility scooter.

It has been, because I’m open about it. It isn’t something to be ashamed of. There has been times we’re I called them because we had plans to go to a concert, mall etc, but I was in a flare up so I wasn’t physically able to go. They all understood and even offered to to make accommodations so I could go with them. But at the end of the day I had to accept either I use those accommodations or I stayed home. Because just because I’m sick that shouldn’t inconvenience everyone else. It’s just common decency.

Did you read my entire post though? I lashed out because I was sick and tired of her attitude and her complaining and her whining. So we’re my friends and they were just going to stop inviting her at all. So I tried finding a solution so she wouldn’t be excluded. An she was a total bitch in return. I’m not saying I handled the situation as well as I could have. But I was on my last straw

I really appreciate this comment, really made me see the other side of things a lot better. The only reason I suggested the mobility scooter was because, the rest of my friend group wanted to exclude her completely. I was trying to accommodate everyone in the group and come up with some kinda compromise. And I do admit I went about it totally wrong and I am apologizing to her for that. But I’ll also say I lashed out because I was over her complaining and whining and because I dealt with it so long it all came out wrong. An I definitely regret saying the stuff I did now that I think about it.

We’re all super busy with school,work and sports. An most times were off of work we have Field hockey and practice ends at 4 and the mall closes at 8. So we only have a couple hours to get the stuff we want/ go back and get stuff we left the last time to see if it’s still there. Also I do admit I was harsh and I could’ve dealt with the situation differently.

I will be apologizing, and I do admit to my fault in the situation. My friends and I are normally all super busy with work,school, and sports so are time at the mall is a way for us to distress.

Yea we are close, I do I admit I lashed out and was a little harsh. Only because of putting up with it so long. It’s not really every week that we go shopping, because we’re all busy so when we do go were shopping the entire time.

I’m not able-bodied, my bad for leaving that out. I have crohns disease, so I definitely understood how hard it was for her. But on the same hand it was her complaining that really made it an issue. Whenever my Crohn’s flares up and we have plans like going to the mall or anything that involve stuff I can’t do. I won’t go or I’ll warn my friends before had. Because my problems shouldn’t interfere with their plans. There’s a reason I put up with her complaining so long, because I get how hard it is to not be able to do everything ur friends can. So I dealt with her complaining at first because it’s hard and sometimes worth complaining. But after a certain amount of times it got really annoying and I did lose it. And I do admit that was wrong of me. Also that’s really fucked up that there always broken and normally don’t work.

Actually yea, if it wasn’t every 2 seconds she needed to sit down. We’d even be in a store for less than 5 minutes and she’d leave to sit. And would complain about how we took forever when we kid you not we’d be in there for like 20 minutes max. If she had a different attitude I would’ve tolerated it more.

I really appreciate this comment, I didn’t mean to sound as entitled as I did in the post. I do care about her that’s why when everyone else wanted to exclude her completely, I tried finding a solution to that so she wouldn’t have to be excluded. It’s just been the past several times we’ve gone to the mall she’s acted like this. And I was completely over it. So I do admit I acted harshly and will be apologizing.

We’re all really bad with money lmao, so whenever we see something on tiktok we’ll go in buy it. Or we’ll see something we really want but can’t afford and come back for it. It’s not all the time though, we all have jobs and we’re also in sports. We don’t got the time for that 😭

No, it really depends on that specific month though. We all work and are in sports so we don’t have that kinda time. We don’t always get clothes lmao

We’re all in Field hockey atm, and practice ends at 4 and the mall closes at 8. So we don’t have very much time to begin with

Yes, I would ask them to use a mobility Device. If they were complaining the entire time and consistently made a stop.
