Thanks so much assholes!
Hey to my so-called friends: I made it clear that I was done exams yesterday, and I asked you guys to come over to have a few drinks and “celebrate” when I was done. But I heard nothing from you for the last few days! I tried to call you guys but no one

Maybe they had exams too, and they were studying/writing them the last few days. Maybe they are bad friends, or maybe you’re not the only university student in the universe.Just throwing it out there.
Maybe your “friends” didn’t want to party with you because you think the universe revolves around you? I mean if some random stranger can pick that up from the internetz imagine what your “friends” think of you.What makes you so special that your “friends” should celebrate YOU being finish exams?Fucking douchebag.
“I made it clear that I was done exams yesterday”=”I made it clear that you will hang with me at the prescribed time OR ELSE YOU DON’T LOVE ME.”Ummm…it’s a bit of a hectic time of year. Chill.
I concur with everything already said- maybe they were busy, maybe they were tired, maybe they ahd previous commitments, maybe the world doesn’t revolve around you. Maybe you should of gone to them instead of sitting around pouting waiting for them to come to you. maybe you should be able to make your own fun and not depend on others for your happiness.
I think you guys are the ones that need to chill. It is entirely possible that the OP’s friends were busy /still had exams, but they didn’t even bother to call or explain why they couldn’t hang out, and that, in my opinion, is just rude (friends or not). If someone invites you to do something, the polite thing to do return their fucking call. I believe it’s called “RSVPing”
I agree Hellakitty that rsvping is the right thing to do. And if this person’s bitch didn’t have such a huge sense of entitlement bleeding through between the lines, maybe I’d be a bit more sympathetic. I could be wrong but I got the impression that not hanging out with the OP on that night was not an option.
“Maybe they had exams too, and they were studying/writing them the last few days. Maybe they are bad friends, or maybe you’re not the only university student in the universe.”Adi they are being bad friends and none of them are in fucking school! I asked them what they were doing friday night and they all either said nothing yet or they didn’t know. So I asked them to come over for a few drinks, and they said they would come over! But that was last monday, and I never heard from them since! I called them about 5-10 times on thursday to find out for sure that they were coming but no answer!
It is shitty when when people don’t rsvp, it makes you wonder why they even said “yes, i WILL do this” in the first place. Maybe it’s time to make some new friends?I’ve known people like that in the past…every time we interacted they’d be like “oh, let’s do THIS” and I’m like OK! Sounds like fun! And then when the time comes they are nowhere to be found. After it happens a certain number of times you learn to cut ties, basically.
Must be all the super-fucking friendly here. People worth knowing live outside this province. Get your education (as if this wasn’t a firm lesson for you, OP) and head west, young man, head west.
Sorry, Kay, I forgot that everybody in Halifax is an asshole and everybody in Alberta/BC is perfect all the time. My mistake.
Right on Kay… The west is the best.
I wouldn’t say the west is the best….I’m quite fond of Central Canada, myself 😛
You called them five to ten times on Thursday!?!? I hate to break it to you, OP, but that sounds like harassment. No wonder you haven’t heard from them. Call once on the first day, wait about three days or so, call them once to remind them. That is all you need to do.You’re calling them up to ten times in one day, nagging them to come party with you, they will get sick of you. You’re too emotionally attached to these people to understand that they have other things in their lives besides you, and that those things are more important.They might have family, Christmas shopping, something came up, etc. They’re still your friends, but they can’t revolve their lives around you.
Yeah, I was going to mention something about the calling. Call once, leave a message, stop calling. Much more than that and you start seeming a leetle desperate.
Yes Tabitha. It’s kind of sad as well sometimes, when it’s someone whose company you actually enjoyed.
“I called them about 5-10 times on thursday”…uh, i hate to break it to you but you, my friend, are one clingy/creepy fuck. No wonder your friends didn’t want to hang out with you. if my friends pulled that shit on me (calling me repeatedly like that) I’d avoid them too. Sounds like you need to take a hint and either a) chill the fuck out or b) realise your “friends” are trying to tell you something by not saying anything (and not showing up) at all.Fuck, you’re annoying.
Mole Rat, I’ve known people who did that, saying they want to do something on a certain day and when the time comes they “disappear”. It’s fucking pathetic! Don’t waste my fucking time– if you don’t really want to hang/go out with me, don’t fucking suggest it!
It’s fucking amazing how those people (I just mentioned) manage to make/keep friends.
