I agree I think it sounds like your friend is shy. I can talk for hours behind a computer, but in real life I'm super shy and really introverted. If somebody met me in real life after talking to me on the computer they would be in for a shock. It does seem rude she didn't offer to pay for anything if she had the money. Maybe she's never been a guest like that before. I understand your frustration and I think it's reasonable to feel upset.

But are you so shy you can't once choke out a "thank you" to someone who hosted you for several days and clearly knocked herself out to show you a good time?

that's why I said she has every reason to be upset. :/
I'm not saying her friend's actions were right by any means.

Sorry for jumping on you--now and then, I encounter an attitude that shyness is a "Get out of courtesy free" card, but it wasn't fair to tar you with that brush just for pointing out that shyness can make even expressing happiness and gratitude difficult.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-04 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
it's alright, I know it's easy to jump to conclusions. u__u

I didn't know people use shyness as an excuse to get away with stuff until just now, that's kind of a crappy thing to do. But then again I've never encountered many people who claimed to be shy in the first place.

Not only that, but why mention that you have money to pay for yourself, and then never offer to do so during the visit? Even if the friend is shy, a thank you is still feasible & would be nice.

Yes! When someone has paid tens (hundreds?) so that you have an enjoyable time at their place, a thank-you isn't too much to ask. I don't care if their introverted or not.

The OP has already done more than enough to make their so-called friend happy. Why should they do more by accommodating such rude and impolite behavior? It sounds like people are expecting the OP to give, give, give while the friend takes, takes, takes.
