Am i a bad friend :/?

Just give an excuse. Don't leave them hanging. That is a good way to lose friends.

I think lots of people go through this..
Why don't you tell them why you're feeling down?
Who knows, maybe a day out with your friends would cheer you up..
Your friends will always be there for you. :)

I've done that. Fuck them, you do whatever the fuck you fell like, if they are true friends, they'll give you a break.

why not just try telling the truth, the truth always wins in the end instead of tip-toeing yourself around lies that get you no where..

Occasionally I'll blow my friends off when I'd rather be doing something else, but never something like that. Usually it's just making excuses to explain why I didn't return a call or something similar - your friends are expecting you. Tell them you're sick and can't make it, but don't leave them waiting like that.

Don't stand them up. Just tell them you are not going. Either way is kind of bad, but ignoring and lying to them is worse in my opinion.

I was selling something the other day and this girl had contacted me about the item I was selling. I had been very polite in notifying her about the item as soon as it became available to her (because the last person fell through) just as she had requested.

Now SHE was the one who showed interest in the item in the first place by responding to my listing. So I texted her number and told her that she could now buy it if she was still interested. No answer. I waited a good while and decided to call her. The phone rang two times and she picked up, realized it was me apparently, and hung up. We had not even previously spoken verbally. I called back just to make sure, and it rang two times and went to voicemail, so I know she intentionally ignored me.

Why wouldn't she just tell me, through text or when I called, that she was no longer interested? It wouldn't have bothered me any. It's not as if I would have gotten mad/offended or something. But no, she was an immature person. She ignored me because she didn't have the -lady-BALLS to politely decline a business transaction properly. She took the cowards way out and THAT really pissed me off. Fake ass two-faced people that can't just be honest.

I am not saying that you are this way OP, but come on. Just man up already.

You definitely should tell them you're not going.

It's okay not to feel like going out with your friends because you feel a bit down.
But they were expecting you and didn't know what was happening. You shouldn't stand people up, it's unfair on them.
Next time this happens, make sure you contact them asap and make up an excuse if you have to eg feeling ill.

6 times?!

It's not the best of things to do and you could lose friends this way. Just make up an excuse. I used to do that when my friends called me. A part of me couldn't understand why they were calling me despite me telling them I hated to talk on the phone. Whenever they would call, I would wait out the phone call and then text them a while later and make up an excuse. I used to do that with unknown phone numbers, but not anymore! O_0 I had a friend who kept asking me about doing FaceTime but I never wanted to do it because I was scared I looked like crap so, I kept making excuses or I would just ignore her when FaceTime was brought up.

I have a friend like you that does this occasionally. Shit friend. So are you.
