Hi, im 22 and recently I’m always discussing with my friends. It’s a difficult time for me now, cause my dad passed away in December 2025, and from that moment I kinda had a bad mental health, but beside that, I got financial problems since now there’s only my mom and me. My friends keep asking me to go out with them, and I keep on telling them that I can’t since I literally have no money now to go out, since we live far too and cars are expensive now to maintain. I don’t think it’s that hard to understand, but they keep on telling me that I don’t want to go out anymore, and I always end up feeling like the bad guy who doesn’t care about his friends, but that’s not the case at all and I explained that to them, but it’s like they don’t understand. Matter of fact, I’ve always been the one doing 2 hours of car to go out with them since I was 16, and literally just 1 month ago we came back from London cause it was one of my friends birthday. I always put a lot of effort to go out with them, and in my opinion I’m not the bad guy here. Please tell me your opinions I’m all hears. Btw sorry if there’s grammatical mistakes, but English isn’t my first language. Thx for reading all this.
