This woman<\/a> was excited to join a fun weekend trip with her friends until they acted as if she were their \u201cofficial\u201d photographer.<\/p>\nDid she overreact, or were her friends really rude?<\/p>\n
Read the full story below.<\/p>\n
I (21F) went on a little weekend trip with 4 girls from university.<\/p>\n
I brought my camera because I\u2019m into photography (not professionally, just for fun).<\/p>\n
First day was fun.<\/p>\n
I took a bunch of cute pics of everyone, edited them that night, and posted them in the group chat.<\/p>\n
They were obsessed, whatever.<\/p>\n
This woman was dragged outside so she could take her friends\u2019 pictures.<\/p>\n
But then, on the next day, they started waking me up like: \u201cCome, take golden hour pics of us!\u201d<\/p>\n
Literally dragging me outside before I even had coffee.<\/p>\n
They weren\u2019t asking. It was just like assumed that I was gonna take pics all the time.<\/p>\n
And like\u2026 I barely even got any pics of myself.<\/p>\n
They left her while she was in the shower.<\/p>\n
When I asked if someone could take a couple of mine, one of them literally goes: \u201cDidn\u2019t u bring a tripod?\u201d Then, they laughed.<\/p>\n
Like, okay. LMAO.<\/p>\n
Also, they kinda ditched me.<\/p>\n
At one point, I was in the shower and they left to go take pics at some spot because they \u201cdidn\u2019t wanna miss the lighting.\u201d<\/p>\n
She felt neglected, so she hopped on a train and went home.<\/p>\n
By the 3rd day, I was kinda over it.<\/p>\n
I just felt like\u2026 not included. Like I was there to take pics and not actually hang.<\/p>\n
So I told them I wasn\u2019t really feeling it and I booked a train home early.<\/p>\n
Her friends started being weird in their group chat.<\/p>\n
Now, they\u2019re being weird in the group chat.<\/p>\n
One of them texted, \u201cNext time, don\u2019t offer to take pics if you\u2019re gonna catch feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n
But, I never offered! I literally brought the camera because I like it.<\/p>\n
This wasn\u2019t a paid shoot. Lol.<\/p>\n
So now, she\u2019s wondering if she was just being overdramatic.<\/p>\n
Some people are saying I was being dramatic and should\u2019ve \u201cunderstood the vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n
But like\u2026 I thought we were friends, not influencers.<\/p>\n
Anyway. AITA?<\/p>\n
It sounds like these friends liked her photography skills a little too much.<\/p>\n
