It's disgusting how little time these fucks are getting. I guess their sentences don't really matter because they're prime candidates for Trump pardons anyway.

There are somethings to worry about here, but the biggest red flag is the motivation. Buying someone you barely know a gift "so they can match" screams manipulation and control.

Buying a brand new friend a new phone because theirs broke? Cool I guess. Buying a new friend a new phone so they can look like you? That sets off alarm bells in my head and I'd have a serious talk with your kid about boundaries and power and control dybamics.

The Everton fan I know is resentful that Everton was punished for violating FFP rules because of covid and building a new stadium, but United are constantly underwater from over spending on mediocre players without any sort of punishment.

I'm an old man and have had that problem my entire life. I recently found out about pathological demand avoidance (PDA) and it describes me perfectly. Since then I've been able to recognize when I'm avoiding a demand and sometimes work around the avoidance to do what I need to do. Maybe PDA is something you're experiencing and can find ways to work around it.

Sorry I don't have better advice. I know the shitty feeling of not doing the things you need to do, so I wish you luck getting it sorted out.
