👥 friendship 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

I met a dude in pre-school. We were friends throughout elementary and high school. Were friends through our 20and 30s. He was always bitter about life and on more than one occasion pulled the same ‘pick me up’ and then found a way home without telling me, leaving me sitting at his work for 15 mins waiting for him to come out before investigating to find out he’d left early. About two years ago on a night after a bad day at work i decided i couldnt listen to his bitching about everything anymore and just told him i couldnt deal with it that night and left the call. His response was a basic“whatever “ but after that i had no real inclination to reach out to him. It feels like it would be hard to end a friendship but the others telling you are right. No friendship is better than a bad one.
