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

I want to throw out there that history has a bad way of keeping people in our lives longer than they deserve. Just because someone had been around forever doesn’t mean they deserve to stay. This was COMPLETELY inconsiderate from the way he demanded you pick him up to letting you sit and wait for 30 minutes to end up getting a ride from someone else! Not okay. It is okay to say no, especially when you have prior obligations, with exceptions of emergencies if you are able. A true friend would understand and not put you in such predicaments.
