Part of that falls under the “don’t show up when invited” umbrella, but mostly that sucks. I’m sorry you feel like your efforts and friendship efforts weren’t appreciated.
I’ve definitely had a couple friends (“friends”) that were lopsided. I remember posting about one way back in the 2000s on some web forum, and a guy with a otter(?) avatar told me “This guy, that flakes on your plans and only shows up when it works for him? He doesn’t respect you. Don’t put up with that”. Good advice from a small furry animal, I think.
Some people just aren’t worth it. Maybe they were in the past. Maybe they will be again. But I find it’s important to have boundaries for oneself. It can be hard to balance.
It’s entirely okay. I just don’t think I’ll meet another person who has the scruples, beliefs, or even common interests that I have. It is sad, but that’s just how it is sometimes. shrugs
Thanks for the tip! I left them behind last year, and even though I miss them, they must not feel the same because I still haven’t gotten an apology about how they dog piled on me for cracking a joke about RFK being a Trump substitute. Even more funny when I saw that he was joining Trump’s cabinet, and still heard no apologies or even acknowledgement that I was right. It’s not even about being right, I just don’t see how they could take all of those good times we shared together and throw it away for the regime.
Anyway, thanks for the talk, and I hope you have a beautiful rest of the day! :)

Never make yourself a priority to someone who treats you as an option.
