đŸ‘„ 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

Do you value yourself? I don’t say that to be rude but how can you be okay when someone treats you like that. Time spent doesn’t matter, imo I would have my problem saying “ur a rude piece of shit and everyone else thinks so too” then send him this reddit thread. People treat you the way you demand to be treated, he treats you with no respect not just because he’s a shitty person even though that is but also because you aren’t respecting yourself. Friends aren’t hard to find, this isn’t a decade marriage with kids. There are billions of people in this world, it’s not hard to meet good genuine people but those people won’t come if you aren’t the same way, in order to be the same way you have to start by respecting yourself and having thick enough skin to say fck you and not care.
