Flaking.

[Tony Ramirez]

I notice that whoever my friends have events and invite people most flake and don't bother to show up or even message why they can't make it.

My friend had a BBQ and movie. He invited over twenty people but only three showed up with two leaving early.

Before that I was hoping to make new friends but at the last minute the event was canceled.

Then during the spring my other friend had an lounge night but most of the time it was just him and his roommate.

So is it an NYC thing since most can't make it are not even from New York.

It's relatively normal, in my experience. I've seen it to an extent. I don't typically attend events that are expected to have more than a few people so I have less experience with the situation than others might have.

Hi what is flaking?

I believe it's when you say you're going to do something but do not follow through.
