Why is it ok for one group of friends to not want to do something out and about on a weekend night but completely unacceptable for others??
Example:
Two of my friends aren’t feeling like going out and doing something tonight. I do. If the roles were reversed, it would be completely unacceptable for me to say “no, I’d just like to stay in tonight.”
HOW IS THAT FAIR? UGH! Sometimes friends are more work than their worth! ;o)
I have 3 Hockey games in a row starting tomorrow night… You can bet that I’ll hear some shit from them about not going out on Saturday night or something…. AHHHHHH!!!
Sorry you guys, I just needed to vent a bit!!
Oh I feel ya. See that’s why I normally don’t care what other people think about what I do. I’m gonna do what makes me happy and they can deal with it. My caring level is ZERO! And I try to be totally understanding when my friends say they can’t do something (even if we had plans) in hopes that they will recripocate the sentiment when I can’t do something (or need to break plans). But you are right, normally I will still get in shit and they don’t even realize that I’m being nice when they cancel. Friends ARE pains in the asses, that’s why if you have really really big boundaries, they just get pleasantly surprised when you do come out. Hehe…that’s my strategy!
