Getting straight into it, my friend broke their promise to me today. While I do admit that I haven't been friends with this person for a long time, I cannot deny that I deeply appreciate them. However, up to this point everything has been a struggle.
Since the start of summer vacation, we had made several attempts to hangout and spend time together. We love having extensive discussions and some chess. However, they had been exceedingly busy for the majority of the summer. As a result, all our plans had to be cancelled. With those earlier instances, I could understand why we had to cancel. They were moving in with their fiancé, working full-time, and taking summer courses. But once they had finished both their courses and their move, I felt that we could finally hangout. So, we made plans for today. Well, more like we promised to meet up at their new place and just do whatever for several hours. I had planned to tell them that I was not mad about all the other times we had a to cancel while also reminding them that I still deeply appreciate them. But it all fell through...
I tried calling ahead to make sure everything was set but got no response. I figured they were still at work. So, when the scheduled meet up time rolled around, I made my way to the address they sent me. But I was having a hard time finding where to park. So, I called again, but still got nothing. I waited an hour before trying again, but got nothing. I left a voicemail saying to contact me when they could. That was six hours ago, and I haven't heard anything.
I am feeling two things right now. The first is frustration. I am upset that despite their promise to finally make time to hangout, they stood me up. After everything that has happened, I am finally starting to lose confidence in them as a friend... and I don't want that to happen.
The second thing I am feeling is Worry. I understand that I am not aware of their present circumstance, so it is possible that something prevented them from keeping their promise. However, every time I contemplate that idea, I immediately fear the worst. The idea that they had been hurt or worse terrifies me.
I do not have any means of contacting them other than their phone number, and we already know how that went. What is the best course of action for me to take?

Something is wrong
I almost pass out then wake up to pee. But I really want to sleep now need it for my schedule to work. I don't want to lose my job . So I try to let myself fal...
if you only have their phone number, and they probably aren't going to answer the phone, i would just leave a text saying how you really feel and how you were looking forward to meeting up for a while since its been a while and that it was rude of them for literally standing you up, maybe suggest meeting up again someplace else or something?. if they don't want to meet up with you, that's they're loss because if i were them, i would totally want to hang out with you and maybe play some chess, i hope you figure things out <3
ReplyThank you for your kind words. I took your advice and left them a message.
After thinking about it, I no longer care about the broken promise. Right now, I just want to know that they are safe. I moved away from home for school, and they have been the best friend I've had here. But with summer break, we weren't able to see each other. All I can do now is pray for their safety.
ReplyDon't do anything because this person doesn't want to have anything to do with you but can't bring themselves to say so.
