"Everyone's a let down, It just depends on how far down they can go."

Earlier in the week, a friend had asked me to go to some stores with her today. I knew she had a quick appointment at 1030, so I waited to hear from her. 1130 comes and I still had not heard from her. I assumed she'd be done, so I sent her a text. No response. So I sent her another message around 45 min later, telling her I assumed we weren't getting together then. At that time she told me she had went to the craft store with her mom already and was making candles.

So I decided i had enough, and my boyfriend is always telling me to tell people how I feel. So I asked her why she couldn't have told me that before instead of leaving me hanging. She told me she assumed I was sleeping, and she just got back from the store 10 min ago. I never sleep late, and she knows this. I had in fact been up since 8am. I told her this, and how just because I was with my boyfriend didn't mean I didn't want to hang out. That I was not in fact like her (I do see my boyfriend a lot, but he also joins in group hangs. I have no problem not seeing him to hang out with friends). But she should have fun making her candles. She responds to me, "You don't have to be a bitch". 

So i'm the bitch because I was upset that she decided to go without me and failed to clue me in. In today's society in order to make ones self feel better about being a shitty person, you make the other person feel like they were in the wrong. Make someone who you consider a friend feel like shit because they were upset you did something kind of crappy. No one seems to want to take responsibility, or admit they fucked up. I'm not upset that I wasn't going to hang out with her, I'm mad about the way she went about it. It seems all too common these days.

She then went on to send me this long rant about how its only 12pm and she figured I was sleeping (At this point it was just about 1pm). How she never said she wasn't going to hang out, she would have text me when she was done. That I needed to take a "chill pill". Now I did not get nasty with her, curse at her, or call her names. Just expressed my feelings regarding the way she went about things. I told her I was not trying to be a bitch, but she did not make it sound like she had any plans on still hanging out. Needless to say I haven't heard from her since.

Is this the new norm?
Is it now socially acceptable to make others feel like shit for something you did?
Make plans with someone, and let them know plans have changed only after being asked about it?
Am I just more considerate then everyone else I know?
Ever feel like your so good to friends and they never give you the same respect in return?
Ever feel like maybe there's something wrong with you?
Us 20-somethings are glued to our phones regardless. Even the busiest people have time for a 2 second text! I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this. Please share with me!

Hope everyone's Thursday was better then mine!
