Honestly, we should talk more about friendship with ppl who don’t have the same resources. Molly said Issa is always needing a favor and honestly it probably SEEMS like that b/c Molly is not able to ask Issa for many material things she couldn’t give herself.
But Molly is also VERY emotionally needy and Issa has put a lot of her own things on the back burner to help Molly with her stuff. These are things friends do for each other. Sometimes it gets overwhelming & you gotta talk it out but...
What you DONT do, is let it boil over so much that you ruin a successful business endeavor for your friend because she used ONE FAVOR you don’t approve of, nor were you at the center of.
Molly literally provided nothing of material value for that block party. She could have chosen to be proud of Issa for not needing her help. But noooooo she just had to bust up the party because somebody reached out to her lil boyfriend 🙄
It was like Molly couldn’t wait to say “AHA! So you DIDNT actually do this without help from me (her boyfriend). I knew it! You stay needing something!” Like ew girl! Please get a life.
Not gonna lie, if I asked my friend to ask her man for a favor for me and she said no b/c she needed to protect her relationship, I’d understand. But I would understand that to mean you think the favor im asking for is some mess. That would hurt my feelings about an event.
Like, as my “best” friend you didn’t believe in my event enough to help even if we aren’t in the best place right now? Like we not gonna get right back? That would sting a little.
if I were in Molly’s shoes I might be a tiny bit annoyed she still found a way to ask my man for a favor. But b/c everything went so well, I couldn’t be mad because ultimately, she protected my relationship, like I wanted, by not involving me.
Then if the event was a flop Andrew would get bars for not running it past me that she asked for the favor. But then again, the reason she didn’t even tell Andrew Issa asked is probably b/c she knew he’d still wanna help her regardless of Molly being salty Lol.
Once again, the good folks over at #InsecureHBO have done an amazing job writing in the nuances of young adult friendships. Issa and Molly are right AND wrong and that’s just how it be sometimes. This is good tv.
