Reply #34: It sounds like you feel that your kindness was rejected [View All]

and you feel used. It sounds like the girl put down your family's values and made things uncomfortable for you.

You put a lot of time, effort, and thought into making things nice and welcoming for your guest, and she responded rudely.

It's too bad that she couldn't see the true value in your friendship and your family's kindness. Looking for material things isn't going to make her happy but she'll have to find that out for herself.

Meanwhile, you sound like a person I would like my kids to be friends with. You care about the same things my family cares about. You sound like a generous, thoughtful, and kind person.
