Over my lifetime (I'm 47) I've ended a lot of friendships because the person doesn't do what they say they'll do.
Usually it's when they and I have made plans to do something fun, and they cancel at the last minute. They always have a reason, sometimes what I consider a valid reason, other times I see them as 'flaking out' on me.
Usually I can stand for them to do this a time or two, but I guess I'm keeping a score card, and eventually I start thinking the relationship is too much hassle, and I end it.
I'm considering doing this again with someone, where I'll just start pulling away/shutting down, around that person. I think some part of me feels I'm protecting myself from being hurt.
How can I change so I don't keep doing this. I would like to have more friends.
