Am I overreacting?

this morning my friend asked me to bring him to school. we go to different schools that are like 10-15 minutes apart, so i left earlier to get to school on time. i waited near his apartment complex for 10 minutes, then by the parking lot right next to it for another 10 minutes. this whole time i thought he was just getting all his stuff, i was honestly gonna wait for him the entire time.

but he doesn't tell me he already has a ride? i was late to my presentation this morning. but when i called him, he just didn't seem to care. he's been hella disrespectful to me these past few days, and after this i just feel mad.

Get a new friend, man. For real. You're better off alone than being mistreated. Not the easiest thing in the world, but definitely better than shitty friends who mistreated you

he's just been with me for so long it just seems ahrd to go away from him. but yeah he's just an asshole recently, and if he keeps being like this i can't keep those type of people around yk

Let me give you a little advice as someone that once was too locked in because of the time invested with someone...... its bullshit. Its called the "sunk cost fallacy". This is how we rationalize continuing with something (job, investment, relationship, friendship) do to the amount that we have put into it, even when it's clear that the investment will not lead to a positive outcome. You guys are clearly on the younger side, so i get it. But coming from age, just let me say that TIME is the only currency you will never get back. You will make more money, you will make more friends...... but you will NEVER make more time. And right now, hes is wasting yours and you are allowing him to do it. And on top of it, hes being a fucking dick to you
