Why can I never say something when it matters?

[Deleted]

Some friends and I are going to the Mumford and Sons show on Saturday. I originally paid for two tickets with the intention to give the other one to my friend for her birthday. She has known about it for months. I sent out a group text this morning to try to finalize plans for the weekend, what time we're leaving, etc. and the friend that I bought the ticket for texted me back saying that she completely forgot that it was this weekend and she has other plans that she's not sure she can back out of.

So of course, I'm a little pissed off right now. Not that I wasted the money because I know I can find someone to take the ticket, but because we planned this months ago and now she's blowing it off last minute so my feelings are a little hurt.

I've been sitting here letting it bother me all morning. Instead of telling her it upset me I just said it was fine because I am terrified to tell people when they have hurt me on a personal level. I keep wanting to call her and tell her that I'm annoyed and upset but I know that I won't.

I also know that I'm overly emotional today and perhaps I won't be as mad tomorrow.

J: if it was my friend, I probably wouldn't say anything either. If you've had a good relationship and this is the first or second she's done it, I'd let it go. Now if it becomes a pattern, then I'd definitely say "Hey! What the hecks going on here?"

I also want to tell you that you're not the only person who hesitates to speak up when something like this happens. I do it all the time. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Don't be mad. I think you should update your FB and ask if anyone wants the ticket! Not sure how much it was, but discout it a little and try to get some $$ back for it.
"Hey everyone, I have an extra ticket for Mumford and Sons only $40 and you get to sit next to meeeeeee!" inbox me if you want it first come first serve!"

I would be made and kinda hurt. That was rude and inconsiderate of her. Say something. Otherwise it may eat at you. Well it would eat at me if I did not say anything.
