Why is it that we sometimes do things we really don't feel like at the time just to make someone else feel more comfortable? Let us put this into hypothetical terms. Say a friend comes over to hang out. And this friend brings a bottle of wine. And you enjoy drinking wine--occasionally. But you don't feel like it that particular night. Now you have no problem with said friend drinking the wine. By the by, this is incredibly good wine, so you want your friend, who loves to drink this particular type of wine, to enjoy it. You just don't feel like imbibing. And the friend really wants to drink, but not alone, so you have a glass. But you didn't really want to in the first place. And the wine tastes super good. And you enjoy the bottle. But then your friend leaves, and you are still buzzed. And you remember that you never even wanted to have a sip to begin with. And it makes you mad at yourself for socially appeasing this friend. Why do we do that?

P.S. I hate wine.
