This isn't things... this is people, again! Tried to search if I've posted this earlier here or somewhere else but since it seems I haven't I'll vent something (not so) fresh, but freshly resurfaced.
Flaky people, or just people who lack consideration of others's time and all that. It often upsets me that someone asks me to do something with them but in the end they flip-flop because something else/better came along. And while I had reserved my time for someone else instead of "going and roaming free whereever", it doesn't hurt only emotionally but also feels like the other person is wasting my time. Someone might come and say a few things about boundaries here... generally I feel awkward having to ask if other people are going to hold their own end of the deal because it can come off as pressuring and therefore put them off, even if I reasoned this with "I've had bad experiences of waiting for nothing earlier". Just... why... WHY can't such simple things such as forethought towards other people's time and keeping one's word be hardwired into every person's mind. I know it sounds awfully like cringed "programming" but it would make social parts of life easier if you could count on some very basic things.
I've doorslammed a lot of people this spring because of that. Not out of my life per se but from becoming part of my life.
