How to address problematic behavior in a close friend group

Our friend group has this one person who we all love but who consistently shows up late, cancels last minute, and makes everything about their drama, and none of us knows how to address it without feeling like we're ganging up on them. We've started planning things without including them which feels awful but also necessary.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to preserve group harmony can enable patterns that ultimately threaten the very connection everyone is trying to protect.
