[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had this mom friend for a while who would do that. I'd invite her and then instead of saying no she would say yes but then show up very late (like an hour + to a sit down dinner) or cancel last minute. We interacted a lot beyond that due to kids so it felt perpetually hot and cold. At some point I had enough, but I think on some twisted level she DID want to be invited and then treat me carelessly like some sort of power play to show me where I stood.[/quote]

And you affirmed her stature by repeatedly inviting her to things and remaining cordial with her. Why? Why were you so hard up to "befriend" her? Because you lack self-worth or you were trying to use her to social climb?[/quote]

Can we not do this weird DCUM rhetorical move where we somehow try to flip it that the normal person behaving typically is somehow the problem? [/quote]

I'm not the PP and I'm not defending their post, but it takes two to tango. People failing to take accountability for their own actions or recognize their own role in situations is a problem. Some self-awareness is likely good for most of these posters since they seem to be lacking a lot of it. [/quote]
