The Head and Shoulders Shampoo

Equivalent is required for friends. I have flaky friends. Rather, acquaintances, I cannot say these people are friends.

You make plans and 9 times out of 10 people flake out and either say they double booked, have a migraine, just don't feel up to going out tonight, whatever the excuse is, they give it.

Fortunately, I do have actual friends. The kind one can rely on. 2 to be exact. So I'm grateful to have any.

It's difficult realising that most people just aren't that into me. You know, when a guy (or girl) just isn't into the other person. You have to see the situation for what it is and why s/he isn't calling/showing attention/etc... Well, I have a ton of people who squeal when I call (some literally) and are so desperate to catch up, we make plans, then they disappoint and say "oh!! I want to get together, let's make it next week", but this is a pattern that I've noted over months or years of knowing them and only 1 out of 10 planned meet-ups happen.

I have to take a step back, sigh, take a deep breath, look at them, our interactions and see that if they were that into me they'd also call me, try to make plans with me, or whatever. I'm not talking romantically being into me. Just as a person.

Humbling how little one actually means to people. I'm sure I'll have a very large turn out to my funeral, but before that... people are busy.
