I play in a band and we put on a bunch of shows, which is a huge passion of mine, and everyone I know knows it.
So everytime we play a show my closest, supposed "friends" always say they're going to come, but when the time of the show comes, none of them ever show up. At the last show only one of them showed up, but that was like at the middle of the very last song.
This bothers me because I think if these were my friends, they'd realize how important this is to me and give me support, like I have always been there for them. And I always feel like they makeup some lame excuse as to why they didn't come, or why they're late.
Am I wrong for feeling this way ????
are these 'friends' also interested in band??
if they are not, maybe they don't come because they just have no passion for it, unlike you.
There's nothing wrong with that, but still it doesn't justify what they are doing to you. Talk to them and let them know how you are feeling, tell them that you are disappointed that they never come to see you play and that you would really appriciate it if they could come.
Make sure you give them the exact times and days of when your band is playing so they don't forget. But be careful because if you mention it too many times, they will get annoyed and just forget about it.
If these so called "friends" of yours still do not show up, and it's making you mad.. find other friends who you know that will care about you. There's nothing wrong with making new friends. Friendships aren't guranteed to last forever.
I hope I helped.. they'll come along, just give them time to see how much this means to you

But honestly, maybe they are not interested.
Which obviously would suck, because its something you are passionate about.
Just stop asking them to come then, let them come on there own. People have excuses for a lot of things, and sometimes there reasoning isnt even a good excuse.
But theres not a lot you can do about it,
in my opinion, I would just confront them about it, and tell them what you said on here.
