[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you're being a little petty and childish. I doubt there was any ill-intention on her part, sometimes people just get very busy with their lives and need to prioritize. In times like this unless you're a very good friend who has been with her through thick and thin, you don't get top billing on her to do list. It is what it is. [/quote]

This. It's the reason I finally ghosted a friend a decided to never follow back up. I went MIA after a busy summer and fall and then reached out to wish her a happy birthday and to apologize for being MIA. Instead of her just being nice about it and saying so glad to hear from you let's get together, she started off with-wow, surprised to hear from you after you disappeared as if somehow communicating is my responsibility. I didn't follow up after that because that is just petty and childish. [/quote]

So you are upset that she called you out for your poor behavior?  Everyone has issues.  A text response to someone takes 3 seconds. You are at fault here, not her.  I applaud her for being direct - people shouldn’t have to be afraid of calling others out for behaving badly[/quote]

Exactly. You act like a jerk and then are pissed you're called out for it. LOL.[/quote]

You really misunderstand. No one is "pissed" about being "called out" for something. We're saying that you are 1. taking things too personally and seriously, and 2. setting up a dynamic where going forward things have to be much weirder than they otherwise would.

It's not the "friend" who's going to get excluded from things if you do this - it's you.[/quote]

Um, no. I'll admit the end result is the same but I have no interest in being around people that disappear for months at a time b/c they're "busy" or whatever. Especially if it's sudden and rude. So I don't really care at that point. . . .[/quote]
