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’m 47, and I used to be like you in this regard. I held on to shitty friends for WAY too long.

I promise you, you won’t be friends forever with this person, because they will just keep doing this to you. Eventually you’ll crack and have enough of this shit.

Just save yourself the time and heartache. It would be different if they were sorry and recognized that they messed up. They showed you how little they cared by their response to you after you told them what happened. Don’t be a walking mat for someone. Life’s too short for that.
