This right here is why I’m done being the “nice friend.” I spent my own money, my own time, and my own energy putting together a full box of groceries for someone who told me they were struggling. Fresh food, snacks, water, sauces, meat, fruit, everything they could possibly need for the week. I didn’t ask for anything back. I just wanted to do something kind because I actually care about people. I dropped it off right at their door, sent a text to let them know, and thought it’d make their day. They replied with “thanks,” which I appreciated… until a few minutes later when they followed up asking if next time I could “get different stuff” because they “don’t really eat these brands.” I had to read it twice because I couldn’t believe it. You’re getting free groceries and your first response is to complain about the type of ham or pasta sauce? It’s honestly sad how ungrateful people have become. Nobody values effort anymore. You try to help and they still find a reason to criticize it. I wasn’t looking for praise, but I also wasn’t expecting attitude. It’s exhausting trying to do right by people who only notice what you didn’t do perfectly. At this point, being kind feels like a losing game. Would that message have rubbed you the wrong way too, or do people really think this kind of behavior is normal now ~ Maggie Sanders
