Is it normal to feel that doing something for your friends, not family but just friends & acquaintances, that doing something for them is really an unpleasant thing? I took two of my friends to an amazing concert at the Hollywood bowl last Friday and after having to pick both of them up and then driving back to my house and then all the way to the venue which was over 2 hours away and even having paid for their tickets, I felt so regretful. I was annoyed the entire ride up and thought repeatedly "why did I bring these people?" At the end of the night i still felt the same way and to top it off the two didn't bother saying thank you and didn't even talk to me until one realized they left their bag in my car and the other wanted a ride somewhere. So, is it normal that i feel this way or do i just have a miraculous ability to sniff out the freeloaders that i mistake as friends? what would you do if this was bothering you a week after it had all happened?

      Oh thank you Maxer20, I told my brother about it and just called me selfish. Good to know somebody else has the same feelings about this.
