We deserve to be treated like we mean something. I don't know why people act this way, either, but they do. I wish people would just come out and say it, if they don't want to get together. It is their responsibility to say so. Also, to cancel at the last minute, to act like they forgot, to not show up (ugh!), or to not even make time to get together *and follow thru*, that is very inconsiderate, IMHO. Yes, it leaves us alone. But they are doing something wrong, not us. They are not acting very committed in the friendship or very responsible. It's bad enough if they are too busy to make time, it is worse when they cancel at the last minute.

This is just my own experience; this has happened to me, too. If it's because of me, I realize that it is their responsibility to tell me if they want to be friends or not. We all deserve to be treated with respect.

Again, my own opinion and my own experience.

I hope you can make friends who can act more mature and more responsible for their issues.
