do your friends often not answer the phone

Post Reply New Topic

My friends blow up my computer and phone with messages when they want something from me (rides, money, coffee or food), but tell me that their phones were "off" just whenever I call them. I wonder if they know that I ignore them for the same number of days that they ignored me. I use them same kind of lame excuse: "busy and away from keyboard." That's right: I give it right back at them.

I never ignore my friends, even if they ignore me. If the phone rings or I get a text from a friend I will answer it as soon as I see it. I wonder if that makes me a panzy, or however you spell panzy.

It doesn't make you a pansy. And, I wouldn't expect you or others to have my reaction to friends ignoring me. But, for me, after years of being used as a chauffeur and breathing ATM, it gets tedious to continue being nice when what I get in return is conditional friendships. I realize that it is my fault and that I should simply avoid them, but I sometimes do appreciate the brief visits that I share with my friends.
