[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you do about friends who have a patttern of disappearing and then popping up again? Do you tolerate it? Address it? Just ignore them?

For example, I have one casual friend who disappeared in the middle of a text exchange when we were making plans to meet for dinner. Then she texted a couple of months later, and we chatted a bit. I asked her if she wanted an item I was planning to get rid of, she said that she did but then disappeared when I suggested a day to meet up. Now she’s reached out a few weeks later. She never acknowledges these drops in communication.

Other casual friends do variations on the same pattern, basically leaving me hanging and then reappearing at some point later. Sometimes they do the “omg sorry, I just saw this!” thing, sometimes they apologize. I find it tiresome, but I also enjoy these people when they’re not flakey. [/quote]

Tolerate? What are you going to do otherwise? Beat them up? Lecture them with contempt? Why would they talk to you again if you do either? [/quote]

Why would she talk to them again? Yes tolerate or drop them as friends [/quote]
