The Guilt Trip

[onesnowyday]

So after a long day of just doing a lot of work already, I come back to my dorm to try and relax for a bit. I was so exhausted I didn't want to do anything else for the day. My roommate comes in and asks if I want to have some roommate bonding and play video games. I say no thanks because I'm not really a gamer in the first place so it didn't really interest me, and I was dead tired. 

 

My other roommate comes in and asks me the same thing again. I tell her no again and she makes me go through the guilt trip. She tells me "that makes me really, really sad". And repeats it quite a number of times. 

 

This really kind of ticked me off since I wasn't doing it because I didn't want to hang out, but simply because I didn't have the energy to do something that didn't even interest me in the first place. Yet she had to go and try to make me feel guilty for it. 

 

What was worse was, I could hear my third roommate say that she'll drag me over there. By this point I kinda got really annoyed since it made me feel like they couldn't respect my decision and wanted to force me to go. 

I didn't say anything, just kept quite. I really didn't want to get into a fight about not wanting to play video games. 

 

I eventually just ended up saying no a lot of times to get my peace and quiet. 

Sorry for the long rant. I needed a place to get this out of my system.

I understand how u feel. I can't stand it when ppl try to manipulate or guilt trip me. I'll initially feel guilty, but the moment they do that, sorry bitch all guilt cease to exist instantly. Screw u & your manipulative ass. I'm not taking that shit. You too, OP.

I know this feeling it sucks to be honest, just have your quiet time and don't think about them.. they'll get over it. People just love to exagerate things its insane.
