Friends taking the piss royally.

[Spaceboundeminem]

I am waiting to misscarry and that I am skint. Friend A knows this and suggested we go for a night out tonight. I live close to town and my friends all live twenty minutes drive away.

They don't drive. Every time we go out friends expect me to pick them up and then they walk to town from mine. Get a taxi home. Friends all have a drink before going out while I can't because I've got to pick them up.

Tonight friend A asked me to overload my car by having 5 passengers I said 'no'.
So friend asked me to make two trips, I said tbh I don't feel like going out as I am depressed. So friend A texts and has the cheek to ask " will I still pick them all up so they can go out"

I feel really angry. Like they take me for granted and just take the piss.

I don't know what your question is, But yes, they are taking the piss.

They are taking the piss and using you as a taxi service.

They're not friends.

Stay home, chat to us and look after yourself.

Tell them to get a fucking taxi.

I sorry you are going through a tough time. Your friends are utterly taking the piss. I would make it clear that you can't pick them up and then ignore any further messages.

You must stay at home tonight and watch crap tv and be gentle. Fuck them!! They're not friends.

I'm so sorry about your miscarriage. No wonder you feel down.

These aren't friends - they are users who care only about themselves. You would be better off with no friends than with these.

Refuse to give them a lift. How dare they ask that? It's OK to get angry, you know. You'd be well within your rights to text back, "Of course I'm not giving you a lift. I'm about to miscarry and I'm not even going out with you!" Then do your very best to ignore them.

I have said no I just feel hurt that I have had zero support from my friends. I do feel like a taxi service.

They are not friends. A only suggested the night out because she and the others want to go out. They don't give a shit about you other than your ability to give them a lift. Tell them to go sling their hooks.

I would ditch them, tbh. They are showing their true colours.

They aren't friends. Look after yourself OP.

They are not friends. They are a bunch of "users".

Real friends would be cancelling their night out to drink tea, eat copious amounts of chocolate and watch cheesy films with you in their PJs.

Please do not even consider doing what they ask!

Holy Shit! Your "friends" are godawful users who should be ashamed of themselves. Seriously OP, get new mates.

Did you tell them how annoyed you feel that they are taking the piss?

I've been in this situation where I did all the giving for years and got nothing back socially. When I did the right thing and confronted them I got cowardly denials then the same rude behaviour. They have all been acquaintance zoned now and |I am just waiting for karma to get them.

I have since met some friends who actually like me for myself and don't criticise relentlessly whilst expecting me to be giving and kind back. Such a relief!

So my advice is tell them how you feel calmly and firmly. Stand up for what you believe is right even if it seems to be of no benefit to you.

I hope you have someone with you who cares

Sorry about my phone!

Goodness you poor thing
This is the last thing you should be worrying about. Please cut off these people from your life. A decent friend would cancel this night out and come be with you or offer you whatever support you need. You do not need them.

Thanks all unfortunately my best friend is depressed so obviously can't support me at the moment. But I know he would if he could. My mum spent a hour with me last night while I cried. My dh will be home soon though thinking take away and a book for the night. I am seriously considering ending the friendship after this.

All the best space

Nasty fuckers.

Be kind to yourself

It's not a friendship, it's people who just use you for a free lift into town. The only reason you are invited is so they can cadge a free lift. What disgusting users. You deserve better.

Fuck them all off. You are better off with no friends than ones like these. User 'friends' are exhausting and just not worth it.

Im Sorry for what you are going through and its at times like this you realise who your real friends are.

Hope you are ok in the circumstances.

Don't confront them tonight. Just focus on yourself. Take care

I wouldn't confront them at all, id just distance myself. If they are thoughtless enough to do that to the OP then they either have massive brass necks or are so self absorbed that they wont understand that they have done anything wrong. Not an argument worth having IMO.

That is beyond dreadful....even expecting you to go out at all is a complete pisstake! So sorry op

A real friend would be at yours place tonight supporting you.

A true friend would be jumping in a taxi and sitting in with you tonight to do whatever YOU choose to do, whether that be talking about YOU all night (yes, you are entitled for it to be all about you right now) or to get rolling drunk.

I am sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourself.
