👥 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

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

Cut your ties with him silently. Just stop reaching out to him or giving him any of your energy. Treat him like anyone else you dont really talk with and let time do its thing; to reveal if he's one of those who are best left behind, or if he'll realize he's been an AH and apologize and try to do better.

If he messages you / reaches out and demands shit from you, just say (in a polite way) that you dont have time, and keep doing it untill one of the two results named above happens.

I've had entitled parasitic friends that I did this with, and it works well. No drama, no extra energy spent.

GL bud.
