When people blame me for not showing up to things that I promise I will show up for- why don't they look at the other side of the picture?

This Christmas, there has been a couple of incidents with the same group of people that involve last minute planning. I am not a last minute person. Most of my friends are not last minute people. Most things such as New Years Eve, Christmas vacation and such requires a little bit of excessive planning. Meaning that I do have other people in mind that I have to be responsible for. When you blame me for "ditching" you, you should think of it from this perspective. I had asked you less than 4 days before an event if you had any plans in mind. Your reply was "we will plan then..." I said "I have other commitments to go to, so please tell me soon." When I did not get a reply 2 days before an event, I assume the event is off. Last minute, magically something happens. The world starts to blame me for no show. Does anyone think from my perspective? I do have other friends, family members, and commitments in mind. If you can't give me an appropriate definite answer - please don't blame me for "ditching" you. Don't make it seem like I am a savage for trying to get this point across.

I am ultra annoyed for a while now. This was one of the reason why my Christmas holiday season is ruined.



I also decided. I am going home a lot more this term because I miss Toronto.
