[Avenged Sevenfold]

[insanenoodlyguy]

Grow some fucking reproductive gonads of your gender preference and stop being so passive you get dragged into shit you don't like.

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

I don't think that being a compassionate friend equals being "passive". Have you never done something for someone else even though you technically didn't enjoy it? You know, just to make them happy?

[chardmonster]

I definitely have.

However, it wasn't five times in a row, and it wasn't over something simple like a concert. Generally the doing something for someone else involves helping them with work.

If going to a damn concert is so awful for the OP, and it's just a concert and not something necessary, then yeah. They need to grow gonads.

Let the friend know, gently, that you don't want to go. Hell, you've gone five times! If they try to make you feel bad, they aren't a good friend.

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

Maybe those concert aren't "something simple" to the OP's friend, though. I mean, we've all seen plenty of those secrets where people say that a band's music is all that keeps them going -- maybe it's something like that in this case, too. We don't know the full story, that's all I'm saying.

[bored_bitch]

So tell them.
I tell my friends when I think their music is shit.
And you already went once. 5 times is quite excessive for something you don't even like.

[(Anonymous)]

Jesus fuck, just tell them you don't want to go anymore.
In case you're afraid of hurting your friend's feelings, remember them that you already went five times with them. That'll prevent them from making a scene.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, haha, no it won't. See above re "this band is my life, if you hate them you hate meeee, wail"

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

I think you're a good friend, but you're setting yourself up fir a misunderstanding here. Your friend probably thinks you like the band, and might feel pretty bad if the truth comes out in a bad way. So try being honest, maybe suggest that you go to another band's concert (one you both enjoy)?

Oging

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, I know it's just a typo, but I like it. I say it falls somewhere between gagging (as in, "gagging for a shag") and longing.

[(Anonymous)]

I wish I could go in your place. I love their music, and I've never had the chance to see them live.

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is the musical group "Avenged Sevenfold" performing on-stage.]

I went because you didn't want to go alone. We've been five times. Now they're touring again I'm afraid you're going to ask me to go again. I still don't like their music.

[baranohanayome.livejournal.com]

I don't blame you for your reluctance to go, OP, Avenged Sevenfold is a shitty band. Just tell your friend you don't want to go and don't particularly enjoy A7's music, and suggest another activity you can do together instead.

[elaminator]

I definitely think you should tell them you aren't all that fond of the music and don't want to go again. It was a nice thing you did for your friend, but 5 times seems a bit excessive.

You probably won't hurt their feelings too much, especially if you just mention that you did it to spend time with them. (They'll probably be grateful you went at all.)

You not having the same taste in music isn't too big a deal. :)

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I know I should grow a pair but I just feel like it's too painful to do so. My friend went through some really bad times and credits their music with saving her life. Even though I don't like their music I don't want to just say no because she doesn't do well in crowds which is why I went with her the first time. Over the years it got to be sort of a thing with us and at this point she's doing a lot better but I don't know how to stop doing without ruining the past experiences.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

May be suggest an alternative? A different band you both like very much and would enjoy seeing together. I understand not wanting to ruin past experiences and saying "this band is shit and how dare you make me go see them again" but you can may be say that your interest in them has decreased and you'd rather see someone else? Being nice but honest should work, because i'm sure your friends doesn't want to make you do things you don't enjoy.

Re: OP

[bored_bitch]

She CAN listen to them without going and seeing them in concert.
This is a thing that people can do.
So "mUSIX SAevD Mai LAifS!!!" or not, it's not truly denying her anything not to go. She should just be thankful that you went with her at all, if it's something you don't like.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

just say ur busy

[(Anonymous)]

So...? Tell them you don't want to go.
