Real friends, in my opinion, respect us when we share how their actions make us feel, and show us empathy and try to change or be more accomodating. Maybe that's unrealistic but that's the bar I set for people whom I interact with.

If I can apologize and try to change, I expect the same from others.

Your two friends clearly don't respect your feelings or they would have not ignored you and would have been mature enough to acknowledge their mistakes. Unfortunately, it sounds like they are selfish and aren't interested in respecting your feelings or admitting they were wrong.

The one friend who apologized to you is a good quality friend. The other two, aren't.
Thanks. You’re right about what you said.
