It's like since I've hit almost mid 20s all the sudden its okay for friends to make plans then blow me off last minute or just not even tell me if they decide not to go. It's driving me crazy. Why do people do this, it's so rude in my eyes. Anyways is this normal? Do you all make plans just for niceness. I will they would just say "Hey, I don't really want to hang out right now." or a simple "I'm busy the next few months."

Hello BStuff. As we get older we find out who our real friends are. As we mature and have more going on in our lives we don't have time to do stuff together as much as we used to. It's only fair to be honest from the start, don't promise things if we can't do them and don't say yes just to please someone. I think your friends should just be honest with you and stop making you feel so unhappy.

oh my, that is rude. but then again maybe they had an emergency or something? although I have noticed that as I start to approach my mid 20's I have not been as outgoing as I was before. maybe age is a factor or they may be just tired from work.

Not so often right now for me though. Sometimes, my friend would blow me off, because they have argument with another friend. It happens to me several times, and I just let it go.

That will happen some times, but usually I am the one that really doesn't want to hang my friends not because I don't like them, but simply because I am tired and just want to have alone time to myself. Still I know that I should hang with my friends more because I haven't hanged out with them in this whole summer vacation we have all just met up when we are going to college and that's pretty much it. SO I guess I'd be considered a bad friend, but I will make them up to them by hanging out with them more often from now on.
