So, I've come to expect that people aren't always going to be polite. At times they'll be rude, condescending, or just obnoxious. But I didn't expect it to come from a friend.
So basically, I recently became friends with a very interesting group of people. It's pretty cool. We've got people from all walks of life, and it makes for a pretty good time. However, some of the people have an issue with being slightly overly-sensitive.
One of my friends has this issue... whenever she gets offended by something, she just doesn't say anything about it, and then it builds up and builds up until it becomes this huge deal. The entire thing could be avoided if she would just tell me if I offended her. Because I'm a bit clueless about these sorts of things. I'm used to the idea that I'm going to offend people, especially if we get onto topics like religion or politics.
But, that doesn't change the fact that it's a bit ridiculous to not tell me what offends her, and then suddenly make this huge drama about it. I mean, that's not fair to me. I'm no psychic or mindreader. I can't tell if I've offended her, because she doesn't mention it! It's not fair in the slightest, because then I'm constantly walking on eggshells around her, afraid to say anything for fear of upsetting her.
The reason I'm posting this is because I'm kind of in the middle of one of these situations right now. I have absolutely no idea how I offended her, but I haven't seen her or spoken to her in a couple months. And eventually we'll start talking again, until something else comes up and starts a whole different problem.
It's getting on my last nerve. I don't even know what to do anymore. I'd like to be her friend, but if I can't be myself around her, I'm not sure I should. Any advice?
