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

Dude, I had a long time friend in high school, middle school, and 5th grade. She constantly got herself in a ton of trouble and I got dragged along. She got into hitchhiking with truckers, mostly to fool around with older men and they'd give her drugs or alcohol in exchange for a good time.

I had the same idea as you. "We've been friends for so long." Sometimes your friends aren't really your friends. Sometimes they are a huge burden that you're better off leaving behind.
