I function just fine? I like being friends with people who don't tell me they'll do X and then fail to follow through. I don't demand that people promise me anything, mind you. If a friend of mine has any doubt whatsoever, then they're free to either not commit or tell me that they'd like to do X, but they're not sure they can, and I'll be fine with it. But if you say you'll do something, then I have pretty reasonable expectations that you weren't just shining me on, because... why would a friend to do that to another friend?

Eh. Sometimes a friend says they'll do a thing, such as read your creative endeavor, whether it's pro fic or fanfic or what-have-you. Then when they don't do it, you ask them about it, and they reiterate that they'll do the thing. Then they don't do the thing. If you keep pressing them about it, they keep saying they'll do the thing. If you tell them nevermind, you don't care if they do the thing, they'll get defensive and say they are absolutely! going! to! do! the! thing!

And then don't do the thing.

And maybe they have every intention of doing the thing eventually, because they think it's what a good friend would do...only they're not actually that into the idea, and so they keep putting it off. And really, the only graceful way out is to just not ask them about it anymore. And learn not to take it personally. Because the other route, here, is to lose friends when you push them too hard about the thing they said they would read and said they were into but somehow never seem to get around to. And in the end, that's going to be more upsetting than having your friend not read the thing.
