Am I overreacting or being too harsh?

I've organised a trip to the pub near my work the other day for my colleagues and me and nobody turned up. Needless to say I felt like crap about it! I'm particularly upset that someone I did consider a good friend could not even bother to make an appearance. He has been apologetic about it but it is not the first time he's let me down. As much as I like him and care about him I told him not to bother with me anymore.

Would you say that's a bit harsh?

I've been hurt so many times in the past by so-called friends and don't want to get hurt anymore.

Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated as I'm feeling really low right now.

Cheers!

Update:

Thank you so much for your kind words! Have a pleasant weekend!

    It was probably a case of everyone thinking that someone else will go. Next time make sure that you have at least one definate, then you won't be sat in the pub alone!

    Tell the person who really bothered you how you feel, he might not realise how much him going meant to you.

    No, you are defenatly not being too harsh i think you said the exact right things, if she had a good excuse for not being there then i think you should talk it over with him, but he was being harsh not showing up.

    there should be something very serious lapse,or people don't like you organizing it. may be they don't like the spot you in tented to visit. you need to address these issues very thoroughly, and threadbare. from your question I understand that it has been going on for long. address the issues threadbare and you need to solve them immediately.. past is to be forgotten.move on.you will succeed soon.

    sorry to hear that, just try and forget about it and maybe people just had other plans or had to get home or appointments somewhere, don't take too personal thought and don't expect too much and then won't get disappointed, take care.
