I realized if they don't have time for me and there is always an excuse to get back to me...
I remove myself, so they have no time to make excuses about getting back to me.
It's a hard lesson, but it's better than the alternative.
I don't understand what the fuss is about. People get busy. If you want to look for reasons to feel slighted I'm sure you can find them but if you're interested in making friends, loosen up.

While the OP may be on the sensitive side what you said isn't right either. Busy is a four letter word.
It's the excuse used nowadays for rude behavior. Instead of saying "I'm sorry I should have gotten back to you" it's now "I'm just so busy" to justify their lack of manners.
I guarantee these same people who are too busy, if you sent them a text or left a VM stating "Hi, I just came into an inheritance and would like to give you $5,000, could you get back to me or come over".....would somehow manage to find time for that.

Using the "busy" excuse is just that an excuse.
There's no way we could have ever been friends then. My working life in the past 5 years was a tightrope act, not poor manners. A job and a place to live would be more important than a lack of tolerance on your part. I'm grateful my friends and family had a bit more of an understanding.

I certainly disagree with you. Adults in this society have BUSY periods. That's just life.
I don't think the issue is that somebody was too busy. Instead, one person took his/her time responding to the OP and didn't like it when the OP took his/her time to respond back.
It's annoying at most.
