I might sound like a jerk for saying this but I hate when you get mandatorily volunteered to bring some food dish to some event. Like (for my situation) a couple is moving into a new house- so I was already gonna make a candle for them (bc I make candles and I’m not very creative beyond that but it still would have been very nice of me thank you very much) but no, now someone else is all “oh! wouldn’t it be a great idea if everybody made some kind of dish for them!!” Oh great, thanks for volunteering everybody for that, so now you have to make some kind of food or risk being the only one that doesn’t and looking like an a-hole. “Oh but you don’t have to if you don’t want to!” Like no that’s a lie, that’s a set up, bc everybody will be looking down on you if you don’t do this thing. I don’t fucking cook, I don’t bake, I hate doing it, but now I’ve gotta make something or be the a-hole
#I just hate these kind of expectations#or for family holidays you gotta make something or look like a freeliader#you gotta always give gifts for bdays and you gotta come up with new and bigger gifts every single time#maybe I’m just a bad person but I hate giving gifts/making food for people- I find it stressful bc I feel like nothing is good enough#I feel like nothing I give is ever good enough or I’m not giving enough of it or whatever and that just steals the joy#out of giving things in the first place#it just feels like a chore#I’m not a hypocrite tho I don’t care one way or the other if people give me things or not- I don’t automatically expect it- I don’t care#if you don’t want to that’s great if you do want to that’s fine too#I just hate that it’s like a requirement and if you don’t do it then you are obviously the scum of the earth and were raised in a barn
