ok,my best friend is rich and i sometimes take advantage of her!
so she has a limo and im always asking her to drop me off at places.
she buys me stuff like prada bags and etc...
we have known each other ever since we were a year old!
she doesn't look mad when i ask her if she can get me things.
i asked her to get me a sidekick lx and she did!
do you think im taking advantage of her!
i mean shes my friend and its hard not to take advantage especially because she is rich!
she asked me if i wanted to go with her on her trip to paris but i told her to take one of her rich friends instead because i feel like nothing compared to her, imean yeah i live a average life but average is not enough.
Update:YEAH BUT WHEN I DONT ASK HER FOR THINGS SHE THINKS IM MEAN AND IGNORING HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

You should never take advantage of anyone. I think you should have a talk with her -- tell her that you cannot keep up with her as far as your means are concerned. It's only fair that you examine your motives in the friendship -- are you only friends BECAUSE she is able to give you things you wouldn't have otherwise? Or do you truly have a connection and do you truly CARE about her? If you've been friends since the cradle, I would think the chances are good that you see her as a lifetime friend and the fact that she shares her wealth with you is a pretty natural thing for her. If the tables were turned and it was YOU who was the rich one -- would you hesitate to share with her? Or would you feel as she appears to feel -- she can do it financially and she wants to bring you along with her. Why not have a talk with her and be brutally honest with yourself and then her! It will clear the air and you may find that she feels like you're so much fun that you're worth paying for so that she can take trips and do things with you! Just talk to her and come clean! You'll both feel better and I think you'll lose the guilt you seem to be feeling -- only you know if you are 'using' your lifelong friend...
You are supposed to be her friend how can you sit there and take advantage and call self friend its one thing if she offers asks or gives you a nice gift but for you to ask her all the time thats just mean and rude how would you like it if it was you being rich and her always askin for things
well if u ask for things like a sidekick out of the blue, you ARE taking advantage of her, but i mean since you've know her since u were a year old, i guess around xmas if u asked her for a sidekick, it wouldnt be taking advantage of her...
I don't take advantage of anyone, had that done to me a couple of times and it was not a good feeling. But if your friend wants to buy you things, I don't think that is really taking advantage of her. She probably wants to do things for you. I like to do stuff for my friends, really. =)
Yeah you are taking advantage but its hard to resist, if she has all this money. Just try not asking for so much. And try giving to her, even if its small, then shell know your a friend not just becuase of her money.
Do you really want to know what we think? How would you feel if the shoe was on the other foot. Wouldn't you feel taken advantage of. I would. She will catch on someday. I hope the crash isn't too hard for you.
You don't have to be in the same social class to be friends. I don't think it is wrong of you to take things from her so long as she offers them, but don't ask. The asking is what I think would be considered taking advantage of her.
Everyone is created equal. You are no worse than her.
Hell no.Your just rude and mean.Your taking advantage of your best friend.You aren't a good friend.If I was your friend I would dump you and find good friends who won't and aren't willing to take advantage
edit:Well maybe becasue the way you treated her.That's maybe why she thinks your being mean to her.To me it seems like your lying.Maybe take her out to lunch one day.So she knows how it feels to be treated nicely
Yes a true friend would never asked them for stuff only if its ur birthday or christmas ur taking advantege of her she will find out adventully.
yes you are taking advantage of her.
just because she has the money
doesnt mean you should spend it.
its not fair to her
you're putting her in an awkward position by asking her for anything. :)
