There’s one thing that’s been on my mind and I don’t know what to do about it. One thing about me is I don’t like sleepovers. I don’t know what it is but they are just hard for me and I prefer to have my time. Its not like its a certain person I don’t like hanging out with, its just everyone. But my friends love sleepovers. So I have sleepovers with them of course. My best friend mostly since she asks for a sleepover everyday. I always agree but most the time her mom says no. when she does say yes I act excited obviously cause I don’t want to be mean. She is fully aware how I am about sleepovers and yet she still always does this. One time I told her that I didn’t really want a sleep over. She was asking for one that night and I was fully open and honest about how I felt (Even though she already knew) When I told her she started playing the victim card. She was mad at me and kept trying to pressure me into saying yes. I had to stop her myself from telling my mom that we were having a sleepover. Now I know it sounds like I was being selfish but I was really tired that day and really wasn’t in the mood for one that time. Like I said always said yes to a sleepover with her it was usually just her parents that said no. And at that point most people would be like its not that big of a deal and it seems like she really wants to have one so just let her but what annoys me is she never takes it into consideration of how I feel. I didn’t like being pressured and I even told her that. Then like a week or two later we were in the car with my mom and idk how the subject of sleepovers got brought top but it did. She told my mom that I told her no to a sleepover which I thought she was totally past that. It made me should selfish and that’s one thing I hate is when people make it out like im selfish. Im sure she obviously has her side of the story which im not aware of which im totally up to apologizing if I did something without knowing but that’s no excuse to do that. When ellis wasn’t there again idk how the subject got brought up but me, and my sister were talking about it. She was saying how she doesn’t like sleepovers too and when I said I didn’t and that my best friend loves them and is always trying to have them. My sister told me that sometimes you just have to deal with it for the other person. Which I mostly do. Fast Forward to today my other is wanting me to sleepover at her house. Most the time I say yes if its at my house but I hate it even more when its at someone else’s house. Ive never slept over at her house before but I told her id ask my mom if I could. I told my mom that id want to go over there and hang out for a few hours but I didn’t want to sleepover. She told me that I either sleepover or not to go at all. She told me I was being rude for not wanting to. I Don’t know why im always portrayed as selfish or rude for not wanting to do something. Sure I agree that sometimes you have to do things you don’t want but doesn’t that go for the other person to? I just don’t get that I always do what they want but I say no a few times and im called selfish and rude. Im not saying they are selfish I just think that my feeling could be taken into more consideration and they would understand. Am I being selfish?
