Re: fandom friend advice

If I'm venting about a topic that "gets under my skin" on a regular basis to a friend, then yes, they are doing me a favor by listening. This is a nice thing that friends do for one another, but here's what you don't seem to get: it takes time and it's emotionally draining to be someone's outlet for their frustrations. It is NOT something people owe you, and OP should recognize that the friend is indeed doing them a favor by being a sympathetic ear.

If you don't understand that, then I suspect it's you who are the crappy friend, not me.

The analogy stands. We only have the OP's word for it that the friend doesn't really like cupcakes and just wants to eat them for attention. But if the cupcake is a cupcake that the OP isn't going to eat and doesn't want to eat, then it's silly for them to call dibs on it when someone else is willing and wants to eat it. Whether or not the friend actually like cupcakes is irrelevant.
