    People-pleasing woman can't refuse paying off friend's debt despite knowing she spends all her money of luxury items she can't afford: 'My friend has very expensive taste; clothes, dining, travel, etc'

    The basic rules of friendship are simple: Give and take should be both equal and mutual. For example, paying for your friend to be upgraded to 5-star hotels because she doesn't like the energy of a 4-star, and then lending her $5-10k to get her out of debt, is not a great example of balanced 'give and take'…

    Don't get me wrong, she sounds like an amazing friend, who also needs a bit of therapy in people pleasing…We love that she is there for her friend through it all, financial trials and social tribulations. However, there is definitely a line to be drawn, as we are not quite sure who granted her the right to just take, take, take. You cannot be so self-unaware as to ask your financially responsible friend for a loan, and then allow them to buy you unnecessary gifts and luxuries on top of that…If her friend wants a sugar baby, she's certainly at the right place. 

    But how naive, could one be not to see that they are being utterly and completely used? It's time to take a deep dive into this friendship and re-evaluate its worth. Because you may look at her and see love, but when she looks at you, all she sees are $$$ signs
