Compromising

Sometimes, I do something that I don`t want to do, just to avoid to make friends feel uncomfortable, embarrassed or rejected.

For example, last night, we went to body building and on the way home, she asked if I want to go buy cheap bread at some supermarket. She said they only sell the bread half the price at the very last minute of the day right before their closing and now was the that time. I really don`t want to, because the whole purpose of body building is to lose weight and if I buy some bread which I definitely will eat, I definitely will gain weight which I try so hard to lose. So, I really don`t want to. But just not to let her feel bad, I said ok and forced myself to buy some bread that I don`t want to be anywhere near.

Same sort of things, I did tons of them, just to make others feel less rejected.

Did you ever do anything similar? People call it compromising which is a stupid thing to do when you think about it. But still, what else can you do? what other choice do we have?
