I (19F) have basically had the same group of friends for 6 years, of about 8 girls.

Every year I watch these people buy each other presents, and I myself spend $30-$50 on every one ($400 each year). I am also the most financially independent out of these people so it takes a toll.

Then when it comes to my birthday, which is near Christmas (5 days), nobody has ever bought me a present.

This could be because it’s close to Christmas or just because they are bad friends.

This year I decided to stop buying anyone presents. 

This means that I’ve had to show up at birthday events empty handed whilst everyone else is giving gifts (that they would never do for me).

Does this make me an asshole??
