I have a friend we have been friends for years but she is flaky and doesn't keep plans.
We hardly see each other because she just wants to stay home.
I've actually posted about her before
She has a online boyfriend in America and stays up all night texting /chatting to him and sleeps during the day.
A month ago she questioned why we never go out anymore (because she makes plans and doesn't follow through and never suggests anything )
So obviously I get on with my own life and do things.
She sent messages "don't you like me ? Why don't you want to socialise "
I said I did and the balls in her court too.

So we organised two weeks ago to meet today.
I seen her in the local shop other day and asked if she was still up for it
Her response "all being well"
Today comes I text her at 9 am no response
Last seen on WhatsApp at 5 am (so she's been up all night again )
Anyway no reply etc
Aibu to be annoyed here?
You know you have plans? She doesn't give a shit does she.
She has no kids or job so can't blame those commitments for her flakeyness
Aibu ?

She sounds like a waste of time. I'd just block and move on. You owe her nothing. How old is she? She's acting like a teenager.

Did you go to the police about the dog smeared on your door @chestofdrawsss
Cause that's really worrying behaviour

This isn’t meant to derail this thread at all, but you have left me in pain from laughing when I’m in agony from a bloody school cough and cold. But, you’ve cheered me up, so thank you 😊

She sounds like a loser. In every sense of the word.

XenoBitch · 30/09/2022 18:57

YABU to keep bothering with this person.

You deserve better from a friend.

Why on earth did you say no worries? You’ve let her get away with it. Again.

If there are "No worries", you need to stop writing threads complaining about her - don't you?

I know this is no excuse and behaviour like hers is annoying as hell but just so you have a potential explanation…

My anxiety does this to me. I am that friend. I constantly feel FOMO when my friends hang out without me or when I haven’t seen anyone in a while, it makes me unbelievably depressed and I feel like everyone hates me. So I plan something when I’m in a good mood, then I wake up and it’s like I’d rather die than leave the house or speak to anyone, honestly. Oh and btw, I’m wayyyy too embarrassed to explain it to my own friends so they have no idea.

NOT saying you should therefore put up with it - feel free to dump her as a friend. I totally understand why people would/do dump me. But just in case you’re wondering whether there’s an explanation that isn’t just her being a bitch for no reason, it might be that.

Me too. It's also the first thing I thought. 'If all is well' was a dead giveaway. People saying 'can't be bothered' don't have a clue and I hope they never suffer from mental health issues that control your whole life.

Having said that, OP you don't need to continue this friendship if it doesn't suit you. Other peoples issues are not your responsibility (assuming it is MH). She has her boyfriend and hopefully family or other friends. She needs to speak to someone but again, that's not your responsibility.

"No worries"? FFS why are you taking this shit. Grow a pair of bollocks, stand up for yourself and tell her that constantly being let down is not ok and you think it's best to just let the friendship go.

I remember seeing your posts about this friend before. This relationship is not worth salvaging.
