So I might have lost a friend

Today was a bad day for me, I took my client to school, then went to take my friends to there job. I was tired and am pretty sure I said something that pissed off my friend. I know I’m not the smartest person out there, I have a lot to say but tend to be a coward and not say it face to face. I know I can’t say the proper politically correct word for anything. So I don’t do it or care for it. People have the right to think however they want and to do whatever they want, but doing so tends to have Consequences. Case and point, the following conversation:

I was taking a friend to her job in A part of the state I Despise what the passion. I hate cities, there are potholes everywhere, the traffic is terrible, people are rude and it’s kinda like a dumpster fire. Already I’m annoyed, but I do my best to not show it. I remember the conversation, it was about making some extra money and I remember she asking me why do I wait so long to pick people up? I respond because it’s who I am, I tend to help to the best of my abilities and waiting an extra 3 to 4 minutes doesn’t seem like a waste of time. It might have been to her as she stated that it was cutting into me making money. Then without really thinking I stated that I do the same for her and my other friend, by taking them to and from there location for barely 100 bucks. Yet I still take them. If I calculate how much they would have to spend to get to and from there location, it averages around 20ish together one way.

This started a whole slew of problems. I was being told off, called rude and selfish, as well as called entitled. Even though I help them get to there locations, as well as take them other places or the even stupider thing of letting them drive my car. I’m entitled? If making a living is entitled then sign me up. I was informed that the money they gave me was always guaranteed, that a normal Lyft would be cheaper and that they are giving me money out of the goodness of there hearts. Well to me that means I don’t have to help right? So I decided to let them know I will no longer be taking them to and from work.

I don’t mind helping, I’ll always do my best to help so long as you don’t screw with me. Free advice means little to shit to me, telling me all the bad things I do, annoys me, but I will begrudgingly take it. Yes I’m not the best person, I’ll except that and all the belittling even if you don’t think it. Critique me so long as it doesn’t feel like a jab at me as a person. Some people say I can’t take criticism, and that’s true, I can’t take criticism from anyone who isn’t better then me. Selfish I know, but I can’t take advice from someone who doesn’t have anything I want. Broke people make you broke after all.

Maybe I am selfish, that’s fine, I need to live too, so if being selfish helps with that then so be it.

And that’s how I believe I lost two friends today.
