[quote=Anonymous]1. Something sounds good until the day of, then it doesn't sound so good anymore and they bail. 
2. People love to give the appearance of attending an event -- e.g., they'll RSVP via group chat or social media to say they'll be there with bells on so to speak, then not show up. The former is public and look at me; the latter is private and nothing to see here. Who's going to post on social media that they didn't show up? They know the host will be kind about it to save the friendship. Flaking feels low risk, in other words.
3. People are always looking for the better option these days, whether it's a love interest or a party invitation, FOMO rules. Your invite was good until a better one came along.
4. Modern society is incredibly narcissistic. "All about me rules" the day. People don't think twice about putting themselves first and canceling on you even though they said they'd show up. It's all about them and how they are feeling in this moment, not about your feelings at the end of the day.[/quote]
