Really embarrassed

When I was in my early 20's, I use to go to parties with some classmates I went to college with and for the first few events, I showed up on time (I hope), but apparently (I don't remember doing this) but often when they had arrived at the event, the person organizing the get together would text or call me to ask if I was coming and I would say, "oh yeah, I'll be there in about 40 minutes" and they would probably wait for ages and then they would ask me again through text or call and I would say I couldn't make it. Not only that, but when they were trying to organize the invitations with the RSVP, I would take forever to get back to them so that's one of the reasons why they had to call me to ask me if I was going to show up (which is sounds like I didn't). So me being extremely late is one thing, but a lot of the time, I didn't end up turning up so they were just waiting around forever for no reason! I'm still really embarrassed about this when it's 5 to 10 years later. I didn't even realize this was going one until I found a website that people bully me and gang up on me on where they would talk about me in a really mean way and one of the things they would talk about was this and when I read it, I was like oh God! It's so painful to think about!
It plays on my mind a lot especially today because I go to a job recruiter place and I thought I was still on holiday (I had 3 weeks off). My work starts at 9:00 and usually A supports me at work, but I got a phone call from C at 9:14 and she asked me if I was coming to work today and I told her that I forgot about it and she said she would let them know (she sounded a bit annoyed) and I later got a call from B asking me if V told me last year when I started work this coming year and I told her that I couldn't remember (she probably did though) but I couldn't remember when I was suppose to be back. I asked B if she could let C know that I was sorry about not coming in today and she said it was okay. I'm now worried that V is going to get really annoyed with me and that some of the people at my work are going to talk about this because those people at work talk about me a lot, even when I haven't done anything wrong so this time they will actually have something they can talk about.
I can't apologize to the people I was friends with because we're not on good terms at all and it would be really uncomfortable for us all. Apparently they talked about me being late a lot on Facebook so that's how everyone knows.

I understand that all the things that happened were my fault, it's just hard to live with.
