My(18F) birthday is coming up next month and I am gonna move out of the place I live in rn in 3 weeks , so my friends let's call them Emily and Anna(we share the same place just different rooms)suggested me to have a birthday party before going, I agreed. My personal vision was to just do it in my room as it will be more intimate and wholesome. The next day when I was sitting with Emily and she asked me about it so I said I wanna do it in my room , then she says going out will be better because what if we also plan to do something for you ,I was like ok I'll think about it then she says "what's your budget" I haven't thought about the budget at that point so just said x amount, she says it will atleast take more than that to go out , I asked about how much , she said 0.5x , I let her know I'll think about it and came back after sometime after some discussion with my parents (as they support me rn as I am studying for medical school)and we settled on 2.5x. I told her and she was okay with it. Today I woke up to her endless number of reels about different cafes in the area and I told her to let me know in what she wanted to go to as she already knew my budget. Meanwhile I didn't see her reply that time and went out and see her and Anna chatting up and joined them and in sometime I asked the same question which I asked Emily in chats , Anna asked me about the budget and I told her , and she was like okay and wasn't impressed by it and says the name of some place and then adds oh no but it's like will be 4x. I didn't say anything but was thinking then why mention it , and then they come up with a different cafes name and says yes it is budget friendly and we will help if the cost go up , but I didn't wanted them to help me , I just wanna do by the means I can , but I didn't say that , and just said it doesn't matter if it goes a Lil over the budget then I'll manage with my own allowance. They were like ok , then Anna left and as I am kinda more close to Emily I asked her , don't you think that 2.5x is enough for two people and then she says that it's y place(the city we live in) and says cafes are expensive here , and says but if you wanna do it in a restaurant and names a cheap place then yea . At this point I was done . And being polite I left her room. I checked my phone and saw her msg of before I met her and it says why should I decide for you , I can only help, why should I be excited for your birthday? And I said to that"Well idk any place here to go to so I told you if you know something under my budget then tell me , I originally planned to do it at my room , but then you suggested we should go out so thats why I was asking, that's it tho , and I am also not really excited about it , it's just a thing for me to spend time with you guys and have fun , and idc about going out or staying in ,I don't expect anything in return , just the time and having fun , like a get together before me going, not even as a birthday celebration" She got offended and said that I accusing her for wanting to go out and told me if you never wanted to go out then should have told me. Why don't you take your own decision, if you had problem with money then should have told me and said it was unnecessary to write all that. I said I never said anything about money and she reading too much into it. And then she says that " I will not go out now and if you want to go out with Anna " when she knows I am not even close to her and then says I was just excited about your birthday because I too planed something, which I found odd as she just said why should she be excited and twisted her word. This whole situation is making me sad . Aaith for texting her that message.
