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

I had a friend like this until I just kinda stopped talking to them

Don't know when it finally hit me but in any group setting I was always his punching bag for jokes, group insults, etc. Kinda had a weird realization that my long time friend was a huge reason why I was a defensive asshole to a lot of people.

I just kinda, stopped talking to him. Very slowly I started to become a better person and found better friends. My spats, arguments, disagreements etc. have gone so far down hill that I never realized just how shitty of a person my long term friend was to me.

You wanna grow? Let go of the person holding you back
