Feeling annoyed...but should I be?

So, I've always had issues with meaningful relationships in my life, so my opinions always differ from others, sometimes in that I'm a little colder than most people, and sometimes it's definitely a bad thing, but it also allows me to really understand different perspectives in a way most people can't, because I'm less involved or invested emotionally and I can more easily detach myself.
So I thought I'd give my opinion here.

If this were me, I would definitely be upset, and if I didn't just cut off contact, I would tell her that I was bothered by the fact that she was profiting off of an artistic design that I came up with and shared with her as a friend. If she didn't understand, I'd just drop the friendship especially if this wasnt the first issue you'd had.

Now, if I was the friend. I can say that if someone showed me how to do something like this scenario, and I had a sudden opportunity to profit from it, I would probably be selfish and take it. But I would know I was being selfish. If it was a good or close friendship, I would be super uncomfortable doing it, and I would atleast ask if they wanted to be partners or get credit, or if they'd rather me come up with a slightly different design. If the friendship didn't matter to me, then I would just go ahead with it and never say anything.

So I would talk to her, but coming from what I said, you need to ask yourself whether or not she cares about your friendship, or if she just doesn't have the same conscience you do, and then you need to decide how to approach the problem and whether or not you want to face these issues in a friendship.

But I hope it works out for you, and I hope she just didn't think it would bother you, rather than her being a bad friend. I know that always sucks. Good luck

Hey Cupcake,

I love Dark Ash's idea or a "teaching" fee.

But I also love the thought of how FAT she is going to get eating all those StarBurst! ;)

She was rude. But she did figure out how make money off of it.

So, this was a life lesson, sincerest form of flattery and all that.. You've got mad skills. Move on and let Karma take care of it. Not worth the pain.

Future note: On your next amazing idea... type it, draw it, get it notarized and mail it to yourself before you share. Make a note on the tutorial that to your knowledge this is an original idea... PATENT PENDING. You'll have supplied the right verbiage and have proof. (Maybe one day I'll have an idea good enough to use my own advice! lol)

Thanks for unloading. It's also a great reminder to all of us to practice basic courtesy.
