How to address problematic behavior in friend groups

Our friend group has this one person who consistently shows up late, cancels last minute, or monopolizes conversations, and the rest of us have started making plans without them, but no one wants to be the one to address it directly. We all care about them but we're also frustrated and it's creating this weird split dynamic.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is collectively avoiding a difficult conversation that everyone knows needs to happen, creating both exclusion and resentment.
