They always apologize and explain, but I feel horrible and disappointed. Plus, it breaks my trust, because when I can't reach them, I wonder: are they not going to get back to me until 10:00 at night, or will I hear from them in an hour or so? When they do get back to me, I act nice about it and accept their apology. I have a hard time with confrontation and would like to know how to approach them without being pushy or driving them away.

Can anyone relate? It makes me feel unworthy when this happens, or at the very least confused and left hanging.
IMO, this is mostly about bad/low self-esteem and disrespect which sets us up to be taken advantage of, ignored or even ABUSED by others (who also have bad self-esteem) so, I'd look for any information or workshops about raising or improving one's self worth and self respect and then get to work on fixing mine - EVEN IF IT'S TOUGH!!!
Thanks for this!
