- Go to I think I'll become a hermit
and of course--you have you good friends--accquaintence,s best friends and friends for life, etc. my closest dearest friends are so far away and I hardly ever see them-but are always here for me-if i need them-and i know that they are my true friends. the other i don't expect too much and themn i don't get upset.
Being a hermit all in moderation i think. BUT you live too close to the ocean to do that!!!!

i agree-don't be a hermit
--and i sympathize with ur frustrations with friends---i always thought maybe it was just my--city--friends that were unreliable, and yes to an extent I still find this true. CATEGORIZE UR FRIENDS and see if they are all the same--most like not. pros and cons--diff. morals, work ethics, etc. and in turn that makes them different as friends..i guess u just got try to look at the good in them all and try not to get annoyed at the annoying--even though it can be very trying!! by the way-very cute condo blogs!!!:) anddog blogs:)

It is true about a lot of 'friends'. You put your heart and soul into a friendship, and they simply take it for granted.
It seems sometimes one is treated better by those persons you would least expect it from!

No, don't become a hermit
Your unreliable friend might end up one if she lets everyone down

Awww --- life takes such swift and furious turns in all our lives but, solitude and solitary (hermetic) life is not all bad ~ it at least brings souls rest ~ I think you'll be happy anywhere, anytime actually

Hermiting sounds fun, but only if you really want to do that. Don't let others drive you to it. Set those silly ones aside for when they need you and make new friends who appreciate the fact that you write. Many do, you know.

I think you have some rude friends...
Most people who are very into their lives cannot see past the end of their own nose. Try to cultivate people like yourself in the respect of respecting time and feelings.

Being a hermit is much easier
in this day and age. I communicate just fine with the world, and I hardly ever leave my house!

Life is not so easy, some time people wish to do things and commit in a
sincere way, but some crap happen and have to change.........Always remember, our life is not easy......So when some one fail to do something, have patience, don't pressure ......
I have demanding friends and if I tell them, they push me tpo the edge to do in a demanding way........SO I FEEL BAD....
But I have friends who never pressurise, I feel the best.....I HAVE MY FREEDOM.....
My busy life, I love the freedom.....

Hermit
I like to spend time alone, but I get to a point where I eventually need to have some social interaction...have you ever voiced that you are tired of their unreliability?

Re:
I'm afraid that's true, sam. I just can't bring myself to do the nasty.

I still think it is a lack of respect. If a person says they are going to do something, it is their integrity on the line, they should follow through. Perhaps they need a taste of their own medicine. But I fear you have too much integrity of your own to do that! sam

reliability is huge. My mother is and typically has always been the worst offender about being on time. My dad used to joke that she would be late for her own funeral!!! I am typically early to most events, etc. probably because of all the negative feedback all these years with my mother!
P.S. thanks for reading my site, I had hit the enter by mistake when I was not finished. I just re-posted if you want to read. THANKS

There's nothing more frustrating than undependable people...being a
hermit isn't so bad...I enjoy it.

I love AND live the "hermit" lifestyle (as best a person can whom has a husband, six children and five siblings). But, I have a feeling that this "lifestyle" is not YOU. You're disappointed at, what appears to be a lack of consideration on the part of your friend. Just remember, most likely there are things going on in your friend's life that you don't know about....maybe you could could give her the benefit of the doubt and a chance to redeem herself. Hopefully, next time she won't let you down.

Your right, what with all the tech devices, many forget good manners. I'd
be there with bells on my toes, ribbon in my hair and a big smile. Always.
