Friends who ditch

hey guys. i'm kinda going through something right now and i could use some advice

 

A few weeks ago (around the first week of feb.), me and my friend were planning on hanging out at my place this weekend, and turns out that he ditched me. When i called him up, he said that he was busy, so i thought id call him later on. later on, i text him, and it turns out hes hanging out with his family. i pretty much raged (not lashing out, throwing sh*t at the wall, but more like "holding it in". I usually hold emotions that I don't like in, in case i need to use it in a moment, such as a fight)

 

he's a good friend of mine, and ive known him since 7th grade, but he's been pretty disorganized since ive known him (he's a last minute kind of guy). also, we hang out better when its just the 2 of us. If that's the case, we end up having a pretty good time and sh*t, but whenever someone else joins us, the attention is divided, and so on

 

What should i do, guys? I've been thinking about getting him an organizer for his birthday, which is just around the corner biggrin.gif

When you see him again in public roar at him and beat your chest. If he makes eye contact this is a challenge. Then you have to fight him to prove that you are the alpha male. Once you have proven your dominance you may mount him and claim him as your prize, then he has to hang out with you.

Don't be a dick and get him an organizer lol. He obviously just didn't feel like hanging out with you that night. It happens to all of us. In this case, you have absolutely no reason to be mad because he decided to stay home with his family. If he had gone out with other friends, then it'd be kind of dick of him and you'd have at least some reason to be angry.

yea, i suppose

 

still, when we were talking about plans for this weekend, he said that he was hanging out with friend a on satuday and friend b on sunday. Since i usually take everything at face value, i'm assuming that he spent the rest of his weekend with friends a, b, and his family

 

we even made plans to go see 'the dictator' together (we're huge sacha baron cohen fans). hope he doesnt ditch on that

I found that between the ages of 16 and 24 that you move through many 'friends'. The ones you can call friends is the ones that you can phone anytime without feeling awkward, even if you haven't spoke to him for a year.it take time to meet people in the same walk of life, and share interests.

 

So to answer, harden the f*ck up. Don't let some other person get you down, friend or not

Digging deep. It's not just an expression that's thrown around the locker room at halftime. It's a way of life. A daily code that drives a champions existence. It's not always glamorous. It's not always blue skies and sunny days, and its certainly not always welcome. But love it or hate it, to become a true champion take pure, unrestricted commitment.

Wait, you were pissed because he changed his plans at the last minute to hang out with his family instead of you? That's pretty damn harsh of you to get mad about that.

 

As people have said, between the teen years and early adulthood you will go through a sh*t ton of friends and different social groups. Some just don't click, people don't put in the effort or you just grow into different people. If you say you 2 are really good friends, then relax. So what if he wants to hang out with other people sometimes? So what if he wants to cancel and chill? You should let him do whatever he wants. The problem is, if he cancels on you and lies about why he's cancelling then that's a whole other ball game and you should ask him why he lied about it.

 

Also, I'm not quite sure why you can't go see a film on your own? Then again, I don't get the whole deal with people not being able to go out to eat by themselves.

im not a fan of phoning. im not much of a talker

 

i always text him, but he seems to leave it on sleep mode/ignores it. i'd say that the most he's texted me this year (2012) was during winter break

i guess i worded it wrongly-sorry. I wasn't raging like "OH MY f*ckING GOD I CLEANED UP MY ROOM FOR THIS sh*tSFHDSKLHA ARGH HHH MOTHERf*ckER." it was kinda more like that "silent rage" that i hold in for a moment that i need to lash out at someone (I.E. fights, etc.)

 

And as far as the movies go, bringing friends with you adds to the experience. commentating, laughing together, etc.

It just sounds like he didn't feel like hanging out. I've done this to my mates, and vice versa, many times and it doesn't mean anything. People need space. That's it.

You just sound like a wingey git to me. Sure you don't fancy him?

If my friend got angry at me for having other sh*t to do; i'd call him a f*cking fairy. Honestly do you two get together and just puke rainbows down each others throats? Go get some other friends.

It doesn't seem like he did anything too bad here. If he'd went out with other friends, I'd see what you mean, but he didn't. He stayed home with his family.

Honestly I think you should man up dude. This guy is a friend yes but as friends you should know that sh*t comes up. Even if my friend calls me and says "Hey, change of plans I'm getting some ass tonight." I wouldn't be too broken up about it. sh*t happens and its usually at the last minute. I'm the type of person that needs space, I might cancel just because I don't feel like leaving the house. If one of my friends was talking like you because I "ditched" him then I would seriously wondering...

I went thorugh a phase when I was 15-16 where the people I blazed with just wanted my money for food and bud. They all drifted away after I stopped being nice to them.

 

Other friends I would still hang with, but were both so busy and we went to different schools. Unfortunately, it just kind of happens

Yep, one of my childhood friends, never see him, but occasionally run into him, we just continue our conversation from last time, it's not even like "Hey haven't seen you in a while".

That is a good friend.

 

Your friend here sounds fine, everyone changes their minds, and some people are bad with time, and this sounds like he had a legit excuse, you probably scared him and came on too strong, it's ok to have a bromance, but this was a little fruity.

 

@MURDOC, i saw that as well, i tried to contain my laughter.

What really strikes me is how needy people have become.

 

If you don't like what your friend did, stop hanging out with him. The only reason you'd ask here is if you're doubting yourself, which you shouldn't.

 

However I do agree with Viperman on the bit about the friends during the 16-24 period. My experience is pretty much the same. Never really had any people that fit my definition of 'friend' when I was a teen, hell, I know people (mostly chicks) who appear to be best friends on the outside but hate each other and constantly bitch about each other when with others.

 

Teenage friendship is pretty much like teenage love. It rarely happens, and if it does, consider yourself lucky.

What you said should make you feel fine. That kinda thing hasn't happened to me yet as my friends are always up for going out, and when they want to stay in, or if they are meeting somebody else that's cool with me. This happens a lot in life but eventually you make friends with most people, and always have options.
