Sometimes in life you come across people who are always be willing to hang out with you, they are pretty much ok with everything you say, do or decide.
You ask them if they don't want to go out, they would definitely agree to go with you. You ask them where they would want to go, they would promptly leave the decision on you. You ask them what kind of food they would like to eat tonight, they would tell you anything is fine. You ask them if they want to watch a movie, they will say yes, but will let you decide which one. They basically leave all the decisions on you, where to go, what to order to eat, what to watch.
You let yourself believe that may be it was because they just want to spend time with you, and that is all that matters to them. But you have also noticed that their answer is always yes, unless something else urgent comes up and they have to cancel, which seems to happen more often than not, doesn't it?
At first, you let go. You don't ask for reasons for cancellation or whatever but later on, you wonder why it is so easy for them to cancel on things that you took all day or even week to plan? The answer is - Because they were not really invested in that thing that you alone put the efforts into planning. They had no inputs, they had no attachments. In short, you can say no interest at all. just you who had ask them if they wanted to hang out and they had said yes without thinking twice because they knew they could always cancel it later on.
And after a few times of coming up with interesting things to do, you finally get tired of always having to plan for some other time and other things, when they have actually time for you. And I know this might be hard to hear but it was not the plan, or the food, or the place that did not matter to them. All this time, it was you.
But you know what the worst part is? That we kind of sort of new it all along, but reluctant to accept it. Didn't we? Have you ever relate to all this? Some of us surely do.
Thank you for giving it a read!
