We know that, and we hate it, but that doesn't make the problem go away. Shit sucks for us, too, and getting yelled at for it doesn't make anything better. It's why a lot of us will just limit our circles to people who understand from direct experience, and not make plans with people who don't have the 'flake' trait.

I probably owe some of the people who read my post at the top of this thread an apology. It was mostly an outburst from years of frustration.

I know intellectually most people are trying their best. I shouldn't take my frustrations out on random Internet people. I did a bad and I apologize.

The thing is, your feelings are valid too. So it's all complicated and we just have to make the best of it.

Unfortunately there are a lot of us who get too tired to deal with it anymore, for your sake and for theirs. Just easier to keep to myself than try to form a meaningful bond I will inevitably destroy with my shitty brain.
