Default Being unreliable/uncommitted

Is it a douche move to make yourself appear unreliable or uncommitted to certain people in order to lessen the expectations given to you by them?

I know I do it to certain people I really don't value heavily as friends but the funny thing is they seem to miss the rather obvious message.

Sorta kinda but not why I asked, but it is hard to find a nice balance sometimes.

I hear ya.. I should probably just tell the certain individual outright that I am not interested in committing to what he wants, but he's the type of guy you feel guilty by doing so..

Yeah I hear ya, I once straight told him to fuck off and get out of my life for some shit he pulled one time and still he didn't get the hint. So now I just look at it as a pet project of how much shit will he take before he finally gets the hint...kinda fun actually and whenever I need help with a project I can always call him and he shows right up h:

I think sending mixed signals or being passive aggressive always ends in fail, but I'm guilty of this to an extent also. I just find it really hard to say "no" or "fuck off" to someones face. :hs:

I think I'm gonna call the guy tomorrow and just lay it down, best to get it out before any more damage is done.

Man... I've done that plenty of times. I've gotten better at not doing that. Passive aggressive is right

I've learned better for my yeas to mean yea, and my nays mean nay :hs: It's not easy, and everyone's timeline to accept that is different, so I give myself credit for speaking from my heart, when I have to decline my 'services' to good people.
