How to know if your friend is flaky or not.

Flaky Friends.

I have that one friend who I've known for a long time (like 7-8 years long), I like them, but down to it, I know they do not care about me as much as I care for them. 

How to tell if you have a flaky friend:

•  They don't bother to stay in touch when you're either separated or haven't spoken much.

We went to different universities. I messaged them on and off in the months, but I realised I was always messaging them first. I am aware that you do not have to speak 24/7, but I have had a few long distance friends who have managed to stay in touch over the years.

•  They talk about you or you talk about them (it goes both ways).

I admit it. I get/got frustrated with them and I had to discuss the matter with my family and boyfriend.  

• When you need them they are NEVER there.

So if you read my last post, I cried at a party recently. And my flaky friend just stared at me and did not say a word to me. A deer in headlights. No concern, not even a damn goodbye when I left.

• They care more about abstract things than you.

Money. Every dinner bill that came they would make sure that you would pay for a bit more or attempt to even avoid the bill. Or love, if they get a partner, they will forget that you exist.

• They are late to every meet-up.

To me, if you're consistently late, it means: "I don't really care about you that much and I know you'll always be there for me so I can take an extra 5-10minutes to make you wait".

I'm so sick of it.
