You know your people don’t really fuck with you like they say they do when they haven’t seen you in person in months and whenever you text them, you feel like you’re shouting into the void.

thoughts at night 62
it's hard, so hard. it's hard having friends especially since you're the 'flaky' one.
i feel like it's hard being friends with me cause i'll make you feel so frustrated and exasperated.
it sucks to be my friend because even tho i love spontaneity i hate it too. you can't make impromptu plans with me because most likely i'll say no. you can expect making plans with me only to have it cancelled on the day itself. i hate it, and i know you hate it too.
i hate feeling this way, but i know i can't help it either. i try, try so hard to maybe feel excited, maybe look at a brighter side, but i can't help those days when i just don't want to go out.
i'm sorry i really am. i know sometimes you get all excited to make plans but ill cancel on you. and even though you tell me never mind, that it's okay, i know inside you feel a bit annoyed, sad frustrated at me.
i try, try so hard but it's difficult to be the flaky friend.
I hate being flaked on. At least without an explanation. Mainly bc I don't care! I understand. Whatever the reason. If you need to cancel our plans. Even last minute. Even if the reason is "I just don't feel like it." I'm 100% down. Bc odds are good, a part of me didn't feel like it either! But don't go radio silent.
Yesterday, I made a tough decision. I decided to cut a close friend out of my life.
She and I have been drifting apart for almost a year now. She constantly cancels on our plans but makes time for other friends who are seriously the worst people ever. And I’m not only saying that because I was jealous, they are literally the worst. They’re racist and also extremely snobbish. Now this friend clearly knows what she is doing and even messaged me when she was having a rough night before saying she was sorry she was “such a shit friend” (her words). I told her she wasn’t because she was having a family situation and it wasn’t the right time to call her on her bullshit. When I finally texted her about it on Friday, she didn’t even bother replying. Needless to say, I’ve said what I need to say and the fact that she hasn’t replied shows that I’m the only one invested in this friendship. So I’m making it easy for her. I’m leaving. If she wants to be a ghost, fine, she gets treated like one. She’s either restricted or blocked on all social media and I’ve deleted her messages because, I quote from a friend, “who needs to relive that bullshit”? If she really wanted to say something she would find a way because we have TONS of mutual friends in common. It’s not that hard. We go to the same damn uni.
It’s too late for apologies because I hate that she only messages me when she needs something. She claims “she really wants to see me” but has failed at least four fucking times this semester to follow through with plans to meet-up. Mind you, this crap has been going on for a year and I am truly sorry, but I am DONE with the bullshit. I do not appreciate being cancelled on consecutively, what does she take me for? An idiot? Even her own mother asks about me more than she does, how pathetic is that?
I don’t need to take this crap any longer. I keep trying, and she doesn’t seem to bother. Maybe she used to be a close friend, but not anymore. She’s changed and I think we’ve grown out of each other. It’s probably over.

this reminds me SO much of a girl I used to be good friends with. Its been over 5 years since the last time I let her flake out on me, and she still messages me now and again all 'hey we should totally hang out at some unspecified time' like yeah, ok.
my best friend canceled on me to go to the beach tomorrow I s2g bitch does this every time like when she says "we're definitely on" that's her way of saying "there's a 45% chance we might follow through on our plans"
I was actually amused with the look on your face when you saw me walk in. Yeah, don't pretend to make nice with me because you were uncomfortable at being caught out in your little lie. Don't send me a text pretending all of a sudden now, you care. Save it. If we hadn't bumped into each other at dinner, I really doubt you would've said anything after five days of nothing. Who are you really lying to - me, or yourself?
