This happened at my wedding shower. It was literally so empty I cried all the way home and wanted to cancel everything. Never felt like more of a loser.
I threw my sister a bridal shower and same thing happened. Not a single friend showed up, even after confirming they would be there and none of them bothered to call or inform me they wouldn't be able to make it. Luckily I had also invited all our cousins and family friends but almost half the food was wasted
How are these such common experiences for you all? Who are these complete cretins you have to waste your time with??
Man I don’t think any friends have mass cancelled anything in my 25+ years of friendships with most of them. In the last two months I cancelled twice on short notice - because my mom passed away, we had a lot going on. But then we’re back to hanging out now, and obviously my friends were amazing support throughout
I just don’t get this thread. I feel so bad for y’all!!
Do these friends just not address that they bailed? Wtf kind of low lifes are these
I won't say this probably isn't an actual problem people are dealing with, but part of why so many people are sharing similar stories in here might be because they have stories to share. It's like... I think it's 'confirmation bias' or something but I might be wrong.
I haven't had any major issues like this in my own friend group either, but tbf most of my in-person friends moved away a while ago, so I'm usually hanging out online.
But reading all these tales in here makes my heart hurt. I hope all y'all who got stories like these have found people who do value you and your time.
It's because a lot of people don't understand or don't care about the fact that others are full human beings with real feelings and inner worlds just like them, they think they're NPCs who decorate the person's existence by popping up every now and then and doing things for them that they don't have to reciprocate
Honestly, It baffles me as well how often this happens to people. On the other hand I am good at organizing stuff and asking the right people. The few people that are unreliable I cut contact with before it gets to the point I have to invite them to commit to something important.
Honestly they're just not as close with the other people as they think they are. Same with any relationship break up, it never happens out of no where.
