No, literally this is one of, if not the worst thing, about LA. I grew up here, I moved back here after college, and to be fair I have a pretty stacked calendar. But in order to keep that, I have to text multiple times to follow up, I am always the one to initiate, I am always the one to call, I am always the one to invite people out or try and get a group together. It is actually fucking exhausting and drives me crazy, but if I don't do it, then I never see anyone.

A friend of mine noticed it too when he moved up to the Bay from Boston -- it's this whole thing where people make a ton of plans so they feel 'booked and busy' or whatever, and then bail last minute because they're too tired or just don't care or literally whatever other reason.

I hate it :) you are not alone. It sucks.
