How to Work Around a Friend Who Has a Habit of Bailing
Some people are just naturally flaky, which can be super frustrating for those of us who value sticking to a schedule. That said, relying on your friend to change their habits simply isn’t realistic. Instead, it’s better to find ways to work around their routine of bailing. Here are some tips to help you do just that!
Ask Questions
Approach your friend to ask about their chronic bailing, but make sure to do so in a way that's curious rather than confrontational. Maybe they have something going on at home? Perhaps they don't know how to say that a particular type of outing doesn't work for them. Before jumping to frustration, see if there's more to the story than what you first thought.
