Flaking Away by 260184846

This world is made up of those proactively take charge of things and those who let things fall into place.
Generations ago, we used to call them Hippies but now that term has been recycled into the universe.
Lately, I have been wondering how the flaky people get by?
Do you ever get stressed out, have your time wasted, have your energy wasted, or worse got blamed for someone's flakiness.
It makes you wonder whether about these people depending on the situation and what the conditions in which you are relying on them for:
-Is that start-up musician not paying rent because he is busy or is it because he carefully planned it and really scammed rent money?
-Is that friend not getting back to you because he or she really does not want to see you or did they really not know of their plans that evening?
-Is that long lost friend not calling you back because he or she is really long lost?
-Is this person naturally irresponsible because of bad parenting/poor education/lack of self discipline and intelligence or because that tea member is really trying to get you into trouble?
-Are these flakes keeping you on a string in case you can provide them some future benefit?
How do we find out whether the behaviours of others are nondiscriminant (they are naturally people who will let you down if you trust in them for somehting because that is who they are and that is who they always will be)
OR
is the behaviour consistent only to you? (these flaky people are flaking on you because they want you to give up on them and start to build or maintain distance).
How can we tell? Ever wish you had a test dummy whose body you can control to test out scenarios for you? I think if we did, we can learn at a much more accelerated rate.
More importantly, for those who consider flakines or lack thereof is an important factor of strong relationships, then how do we stray from that? With this hard-to-forgive trait in people, how do you know who is worth keeping in your life?
