Unreliable people
I’m not someone who asks for help often but something as simple as asking for a ride to get from point A to point B on time shouldn’t be too difficult. Everytime I ask this particular person for a ride and I tell them I have to be there at a certain time they either totally forget about me while they’re out hanging with friends or they are always running late.
I’m done letting people step all over me. Even if it’s someone close to me. Usually it’s my own family members who question me when I decide to take matters into my own hands but they really shouldn’t be surprised when they constantly let me down. They’ll say things like “well it’d be cheaper if I gave you a ride....don’t waste money on Lyft or Uber” yeah well at least with them I can get to my destination on time.
I’m grateful that they would at the very least give me a ride at all but I prefer if they just don’t promise me things if they really don’t mean it. I usually tell these people that I have to be there 30 minutes earlier even if that’s not true because I know they’re going to be late but I guess I put too much faith in them this time by not doing that. That’s the last time I ever rely on anyone else. I don’t care if they question my refusal to ask for help. I won’t ask for help anymore because other people are unreliable.
I don’t have a problem if someone can’t do a favor for me..... my problem is that people will promise me one thing but never follow through on their end. I would rather have someone tell me they can’t do something for me than to sugar coat it and lie to me. I get that things come up every once in a while but this happens consistently so I don’t think it’s just bad luck. I need to set my boundaries even if it hurts their feelings.
