So basically two years ago my best friend asked me if I wanted to exchange christmas gifts, and I said I’m sorry I can’t this year because I bought a lot of things for family during the holiday season and financially I’m not independent, so my parents said just don’t buy gifts for your friends this year. They’re pretty strict and I’m scared to go against them, but she was upset about that. I felt bad but again, I was scared to disobey my parents. Then last christmas we agreed to exchange gifts and I told her my budget (~$30) so she wouldn’t get something expensive for me, which she then got pretty upset at because she said she would be willing spend more for me. That was a little off putting but I didn’t say anything. I got her some jewelry and gave it to her Jan 2, the next time I saw her. It’s april now and she still hasn’t given me my gift because she keeps “forgetting”. Im just pretending I’m not annoyed. She hasn’t made any effort to remember. Like you didn’t think of setting a reminder for 5 months? We see each other in school everyday and hang out too, she’s had so many chances. I know if our positions were swapped (but they wouldn’t be because I wouldnt do this to her) she would be so upset and probably say I don’t care about her. I generally see her as a good friend, but this isn’t the only time something like this has happened. I’ve also lent her so many things she never gave back and just forgot about. I didn’t say anything to her because she’s sensitive and I don’t want to ruin our 6 year relationship because of this. Any advice?
