Is anyone a villager nowadays? Why are people getting worse at being friends? Apparently, this is a worldwide phenomenon. Nowadays, what used to be a fairly normal social interaction has become unusual. There was a time when receiving an invitation came with an obligation to at least respond to decline it. It was a fairly straightforward social contract. People either accepted or politely declined it.

Woman wonders whether social courtesy still exists: ‘Is it not incredibly rude to no-show an event you’ve been explicitly invited to, and why is this becoming SUCH a thing?’

Most dares were never meant to be followed through. I guess that’s what you get when you dare someone to do something serious, secretly expecting that they won’t. Sometimes, I think, these people are so entitled they forget to question their actions, and they seriously think they’ve got nothing to hide or be ashamed of.
