We get along so well and I truly value our friendship and considered him to be one of my closest friends, but now I’m questioning his authenticity. He no called no showed twice this week, including today. 

He has a lot of stuff going on, but it’s never an excuse to abandon your friends and coworkers imo.

He not only ignored my call and text earlier in the morning about coming in since it was getting late, but it took for me to call him AGAIN later this evening before he finally answered his phone just to confirm he’s alive and well, and for him to tell me he no longer works here. 

Once he finally answered he explained quickly that he got let go of and said “can I call you later? I’m kinda busy” just for me to say yes as he abruptly hung up.

He was scheduled to work this morning and never showed up or called. I found out from my other coworker he was a no call no show this past week, which means she had to work two 12 hour shifts non-stop. This almost happened to me today but luckily someone volunteered to stay (since staff has to stay if either the original worker doesn’t show up, or if there’s no backups available.)

I’m so hurt and confused by his sudden lack of connection and empathy after he wanted to connect with me. He even wanted to go on a road trip with me soon that we were planning! He’s the first true (or so I thought) friend I’ve made in years after dealing with abuse and trauma. He knows this too. 

How would one proceed and move forward in this case?
