Dear Mike Cares, what advice would you give this maybe?

DEAR MIKE CARES: I recently made plans with a friend. A couple days beforehand, when I texted her asking if we were still on, she told me she'd made other plans. She claims she forgot we had plans, but she told the other person there was nothing written in stone, so she opted to hang out with her for a special birthday dinner. My friend admitted she wanted to spend time with the other person, which is fine, but I don't understand her lying to me about forgetting our plans. Now I no longer trust what she says. Lying does not build relationships, and she doesn't appear to care how I feel. I don't know how to respond to her now because she doesn't see why I am upset, regardless of what I say. -- CAST OFF IN MICHIGAN

DEAR CAST OFF IN MICHIGAN: Maybe she is lying to you because she doesn’t want to hurt your feelings. Maybe she feels her time with you is so boring she actually forgot, maybe she is not lying, maybe she likes everyone else more than you and would go anywhere, with anyone, to do most anything, in lieu of hanging out with you. Maybe if you didn’t blow everything out of proportion like a little cry-baby you wouldn’t feel so upset. Maybe you need a mirror, maybe you need new friends. Maybe, if I am lucky, you won’t ever write to me again. Good Luck and Keep in Touch! Dear Mike Cares is also on X, Instagram and Facebook (whatever they are.)
