I think everyone has a friend or two like this: they make plans with you and then break them over and over, but say it's important to them to hang out with you, but something is always coming up. You know that the things that come up are legitimate, but it just keeps happening. I have a couple friends that have done that too much lately and while they may genuinely want to get together with you, and circumstances may genuinely come up to require 'rescheduling', it just makes you feel like you are their 100th priority. NOT a good feeling.
It's a meeting that they forgot about, or they are sick, or a kid's activity, or someone needs them to do something for them, or WHATEVER. In a way, I try to understand and be accomodating and agree to reschedule because I value the time we spend together, but in another way I just want to tell them that it's RUDE to keep doing that and disrespectful of other people's time and feelings. If they are really that busy, then they should know not to commit to things until their life settles down (or not at all if they can't make it a priority to keep the commitments).
Thoughts on this topic???
