Pretty impressive someone took the time to even write this.
If you are going to anything: BE ON TIME. We have more reasons than ever to be on time or even early, live directions, maps, scheduling. Things happen and some times can be non-exact, that's totally fine. But if you're showing up 2h late to a show, or event on the regular there are issues you need to fix in your life. How did people without smart phones manage!?
If you cancel/try to reschedule a group event the same day, more than once, it is unlikely I will ever give you a concession on time or place in the future because you're a pain in the ass.
I've had these kinds of main character friends who will cancel on an event the morning before, then offer a reschedule that same day to a later or earlier time. Repeatedly.
This signals to me: "I am more important than the other people that are coming, so they should change their schedule for me." No thanks. I'll drop you a note when everything is happening but until you hit the mark I'm gonna disregard everything you say. It has driven my other friends crazy to their point they have asked me: "Hey what's up with your friend Emily?"
Other people have lives, just like yours!
Don't offer to come in the first place if you can't make it. There are times when you can't make it due to an emergency, and that's fine, car breaks down, relationship issues, work explosions, w/e.
You can be busy, or whatever I don't give a shit, it's your life sort it out. You can't do everything. You made too many plans: I don't care. You decided something else was more important at the last minute: This one is a guarantee I'm inviting you to less things. This seems harsh, but do this rodeo more than a few times and it will make YOU crazy. Also, "neurotic freak" is a weird way to write "jerk".
Probably there is a huge selection bias here as I have two friends that are now less good friends due to whatever this cancel algorithm is. I've lived it and fixed it! :D Save yourself a click, read Nonviolent Communication, and improve your life.
