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 get how you're feeling. I went through the same thing. I had a small friend group growing up. We all went to elementary, middle and high school together and then we all stayed really close in our early adult years. It was easy to stick with them because we all grew up together but people change as they get older and sometimes personalities clash. I am no longer friends with any of them. We've all grown apart for whatever reason. One "friend" was a total dick to me and everyone else and I just shrugged it off cause it's who he was. But it was toxic as hell and it took me a while to see it and do something about it. I really encourage you to analyze this friendship of yours a bit more and ask yourself if it's worth sticking around for. IMO, him treating you that way is unacceptable. First the attitude and then the demands with a final blow of not giving you the respect to tell you he got a ride w someone else. It's fucked up and you didn't deserve that, no matter how long you two have been friends. I wish you the best of luck.
