The "Pouters/Whiners"

[LilikoiMoon]

Ever had your user friends pout because you don't help them out, be it $ , or meds.

I've never known such grown a__ men to lay such guilt trips in my life.

Examples:
"Nice to know I don't have any friends"
"When I get my rx next week, I'm not talking to anyone/helping anyone".
" You can't help me out with the last 2 you have, I can pay you back 3 weeks from now".
"I see how it is, you're really not a friend".

The list goes on, and it's annoying. Shame people time you pickup date, lay guilt trips, etc.

Um, these are mine, not loosing my rx for anyone.

Don't let people try and guilt trip you and shit, if people just using you for prescriptions they are not friends...true friends give each other stuff without expecting anything back, or at least there is some sort of reciprocity. But yeah keep your rx to yourself...idk what your situation is, but I don't really have many "user friends" for good reason..because users just use each other, I mean of course there are exceptions..but you're better off doing drugs alone imo. But of course I can understand the fun in using with others, but it usually leads me to using more and more irresponsibly anyways.

I agree with this for the most part. I really don't tell people when I get a script of something.

It's obnoxious on both ends, though. There are those assholes who get waaay too many scripts + buy off of other people, and when you're chilling with them they're all fucked up but refuse to give you any. I was over at a friend's house a couple of weeks ago, and he had just bought 30mg of klonopin, and when I asked to buy a few he overcharged me and would only let me get 1mg.. But he ate most of them that night, blacked out and got more the next day. I just felt left out and disappointed.

The joy of my recent insurance forced switch from Dexedrine to Adderall... took about 4 of the 30 mg IRs first shot... have had a quiet apartment since. They never share but they always bug me for mine... I tell them to go buy more... before I got these I was on ritalin and buying these and I shared then and it never came back...

Ya, I just kick them out of the crib immedietly when it gets into that territory. And depending on who it is never talk to them again.

I'm known for dropping friends in a heartbeat. I have no time for people who want anything other than the best for me.

Giving into a guilt trip is a nasty little hit to your self-esteem, for me anyway. Never give in to this shit.

A book about the subject worth reading is called "Influence" by Robert Cialdini. It's about ways people try to get you to say "yes" and lays out strategies both for getting a yes and for saying no.
