Not really the same thing, IMO. You're not asking someone who's bipolar not to feel emotions, but to make an effort to keep them in check so far as not treating other people like shit? That's perfectly reasonable. If a person knows that their condition makes it difficult to be around other people, then a host should be told that in advance, and every effort should be made to say, hey, I know that sometimes I come across as difficult but I really do appreciate everything you've done, etc. etc.

Also, there's no mental health issue that forces you to mooch off others when you have the money to pay your own way. Having social anxiety disorder or a mental health issue is not an excuse to behave like an asshole.

This! Nothing pisses me off more than people who use their mental illness as an excuse to treat others badly. All it does is perpetuate the stereotype that people with mental illness are assholes, and gives assholes leeway to treat others badly because "they can't help it". Bull.

No mental illness prevents people from saying thanks or offering to pay for your own things. But a selfish personality sure does. The fact that the OP's friend didn't say thanks (or apologize) online once they got home shows that it had nothing to do with social anxiety, and everything to do with being an ass.
