Do you know that feeling when you suspect to be stood up by someone soon? I do and I'm feeling it right now.
I feel like our generation has pretty bad manners when it comes to keeping promises and being prompt and so on.
My birthday is tomorrow and I invited at couple of friends over for dinner and drinks. One of them told me today that she will be arriving later because she needs to go to work, which is fine. Another one tells me that she won't be coming at all because it's date night with her boyfriend (-.-). And the third person never gave a clear response on if she is even going to come or not.
So for now it looks like it's going to be me, my belated friend and maybe a third person.
It might seem like I'm over-reacting, but my biggest fear is to be left alone on my birthday or at Christmas or any other major holiday. Like most other people I have a fear of being alone and it really breaks my confidence when people close to me don't show real interest in spending a night out with me on my birthday. I think some people are just being lazy, but I don't think they know how much it hurts to be let down.
So. Have you ever tried being stood up by someone? Tell me the story!

Christmas and New Years Eve and so on are all occasions where you expect something grand to happen. And if it doesn't happen, it can ruin your day. Instead it would be smart to do like you - party on any given occasion, because that way you never get disappointed, because there wasn't any high expectations 
If someone can't be where they say they will be, the least they can do is call in enough time that you can alter your own schedule-- but at least let you know!
