Am I being a bad friend?
My friend is 21 and doesn’t have a car or her license and I’m tired of driving her around everywhere. She asked me to take her to the mall today for her birthday outfits and I said yes but I just really don’t feel like it am I being mean?

It depends. If she only asks you when you're free or she is on need then yes you are being a bad friend but if not and she always calls you up to drive her everywhere then she's being the bad friend not you.

You definitely are not mean to feel this way. I definitely think that you should drive this friend to the mall since you promised you would, but after this you should talk with them. You shouldn't have to be at their beck and call. As a friend you should be helpful, but you don't have to drive this person everywhere. Talk with them and come up with a compromise. Don't refuse to drive them anywhere, but don't allow them to rule your life.

Not at all .ounds like this friend is usung you and only you . Sounds like she is not doing anything to make herself worth it for you to be running around doing ALL OF HER THINGS.
All relationships are a give and take , and if one person is doing all the taking , it as you know is not going to end well. She is a user OR she is mistaken thinking your friendship with her is worth all of this. Are you true friends? I doubt it because you would not feel used like your feeling. or if you were real friends you still wouldn't because in a real friendship there is an equaling , a balancing out of doing or being there or someway for you to feel she is worth it and weather it is that your not her friend or she is not your friend doesn't really matter because regardless you feel crummy like shes using you. It is time to say NO , I don't want to you need to call someone else. OR figure out if she does give something to your friendship. GOOD LUCK !

Quit saying yes and tell her you have other plans. She will quit asking and stop being your "friend" when she never was. Just a person using you.

Hmm yes and no. If she treats you like a chauffeur 24/7 then no but you should want to spend time with your friend? You can always suggest getting public transport with her to kind of prove a point.

You shouldnt have said yes if you didnt mean it.and yes youre being mean not for being tired of driving her around but for not keeping your words.

No, but she should be doing enough things for you so that you don't feel it is unfair to be asked to drive her places!
It should like like paying you about 1/4 more than necessary for fuel and trading doing things that you could use some help with. Otherwise your friend is a leech.
