18/F I had a friend agree to come to my house and give me a voice lesson. I offered to pay her and she said she'd be over. She didn't show up on time nor did she call me back after I left her a message. I'll admit, she's not a very reliable person, but how do I let her know I'm not okay with this. Usually when a friend backs out of plans with me, I'll say : "it's okay, no worries..." because it truthfully doesn't bother me that much, but it doesn't mean I want people to treat me like this. So basically, how should I respond when someone doesn't make me a priority?
First of all, I personally believe it does not really matter how someone else treats you as long as you are a nice person and behave in an appropriate manner with others. Please do not bother what others think about you as long as you stand firmly on the truth. Often it happens people will not like you or ignore you just because you tell the plain truth. If she did not keep her promise for teaching you the lesson, I guess that is her problem that she cannot act as she promises. Her ignorance towards you does not take anything away from you as a person. You are as good as you were before she ignored you. I guess you should have called her when she did not show up in time. When you meet her the next time simply let her know you did not like her absence. If she continues to behave the same way, no need to have a friend like that who can not keep her promise for no good reason. Just imagine, someone who cannot keep a simple promise, where she will be in your bad times. The old proverb holds true here: " A friend in NEED, is a friend INDEED!" Hope I have been able to answer you.
