Being paid for feels infantilizing to me. Often the person with the highest status pays, by accepting being paid for you are accepting your role beneath them.
- chankstein38 3y agolol if you play that ridiculous game, sure. The reality is everyone goes on with life and, if someone thinks of it again "Hey you owe me dinner after last month!" they're the asshole. It's different if I forced them to pay for my dinner but if they just paid because they're paying then I don't understand why people overthink it like you are.

- zogrodea 3y agoI felt like that meme "they had us in the first half, not gonna lie" on reading this comment. I initially thought, on reading your first sentence, that you are trying to be nice/kind to others by paying for them, but then the rest of the comment gave the opposite impression, making it sound like you're infantilising the other person/trying to avoid an unpleasant feeling on your part by pushing it onto someone else.
