People that cancel last minute dont respect you or your time. You say youve known them years and this isnt new so while I agree with you and sympathize, you have no one to blame but yourself atp. You know them. You know the trend. Find better people and communicate to these 'friends' that theyre disrespectful af. If they change great and if they dont, leave like you already shouldve.
I am talking about people ive known for years. This is the pattern every trip: they dont want to go. Then they want to go. Until the last minute they act like they might cancel anytime. Then they end up going and have more fun than me. The next trip we are back to square one. They have commitment issues for doing things. I am tired.
Also i plan the trips cuz they keep complaining about how boring their life is and how all they do is their 9-5 corporate job. Like i hate work too. I work 20 hours a day (corporate too but i am in operations) multiple days of the week. They complain about it and not do anything about it. Its not like we can just not work. We gotta learn how to balance it out.
I am just trying to stay positive and keep myself afloat by forcing myself to do other things than work when i can. Even though i hate doing things i know once we put ourselves out there we end up having fun. I am tired of the energy around me. It takes a lot of time for me to get excited about things and mentally prepare for a trip. But them cancelling all the time cuz they are not feeling it is very disappointing.
I never said i want all my friends to go on all trips. I dont go on all trips the either. The issue here is them saying yes to it and planning it, flights booked, hotels booked, reworking schedules and applying for leaves and they cancel last minute. Especially when the trip is not coming in the way of their problems and cancelling the trip is not gonna help in any way. I understand things come up but this happens all the time and the reasons are always silly.
