What would you say to a good friend who calls you, and then suddenly says "Oh!, I have another call, I'll call you back."? It happens a lot with this person.

I would reply, "You know, you do this a lot, and it bothers me. How about you call back when you are able to dedicate some time to our discussion?"

I guess you could tell her that when she does that it makes you feel unimportant (it would for me), and that it seems rather pointless to be calling if she is so busy she cannot talk. Maybe you could organise a regular time to call when she won't get interrupted.

Because my friends and I both know that we have busy lives and understand if we have to go away and come back later. We just pick-up the conversation where we left off.

If my good friend kept on doing that to me, I would confront them in person and let them know that it bothers me. Letting it go, and keeping it inside of you is not good. It doesn't help you or your friend. Your friend won't know what is going on if you don't let them know. Don't say it in a bad manner or treat them badly, just let them know how you feel when they take the other call. You can't change them, all you can do is speak up. If nothing happens just know it isn't your fault, because now your friend knows. Don't wait around for their phone call, just go play a game, or talk to someone else, or do something.

i never get called :( im a loner :( im sad :( heh

Its another way of trying to be nice to telling you they need to get off the phone. We can't always expect them to call us back, when we want them too.
-
Don't call this person back and just ignore them for a little bit.

Why haven't you checked in with us since Feb 8 2008?

"Why the hell are you calling me? You know I hate talking on the phone! Just text me like you usually do! See you at school on Monday."

This does happen to me ; so the next time they call .... I just do NOT pick up .... Later; when ask why i did not answer .. I tell them that if they were too busy to stay on the line with me then ... I was too busy to pick up when they called back ... IF they even call back ... +5

I'd faint dead away if anyone called me except my husband and teens, and certainly wouldn't mind waiting if they had another call and it's not like my lines rining off the hook. should that innevitable day ever arrive, I will probably expect a redial to cover the error of thier ways.

I never had any problem letting people know how I feel. Maybe you want to try doing that.
