Re: I just need some perspectives

It's normal to be hurt and disappointed, but... you can't make someone care about something more than they do. Being adequately dedicated to cosplay isn't something they owe you or anyone, and yes, maybe they did decide that it isn't so important to them and they're using the tuition as an excuse.

But even so, you cannot put yourself in a position where you think people ought to spend more money on a hobby than they're willing to spend. No, not even if you know all about their income and expenditures, because 1) there are things you may not know about her financial situation since people tend not to be as open about being broke and 2) you just don't get to decide how other people spend their money and what they "should" buy.

So yeah. You're right that your friend has let you down. You're right to say that if she wanted, seven months is a lot of time to raise $600. You're right to be frustrated and upset that the plans you were looking forward to have fallen through. But if she's not a good enough friend to talk about this with her honestly (without accusing, guilt tripping or demanding she justify her decision to you), then she's probably not a good enough friend to keep.

You've got seven months advance notice to figure out a new cosplay plan. Good luck, anon.

To clarify, she doesn't need to raise $600 in seven months. From what she was telling me, she would need to raise money for the con (usually under $200) in seven months.

But thank you for that.
