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?
without yelling or acting angry, say it hurt your feelings that they did that, and tell them you wouldn't do that to them. maybe they didnt know how you felt. they probably did, but you telling them your upset will make them see what they did wrong and they will treat you better next time hopefully. if they continue to treat you like a last priority, then move on. who needs a friend like that?
