give her a little space for a few days but then go up and talk to her when she is alone. dont attack her, but let her know how you are feeling and that you dont want to fight with her. if she/he is still being stupid about it then you might want to think about why they are and if you are willing to put up with it. \nhope this helped

you should have a heart to heart talk with her. you have every right to get upset with her after all she didn't honour your request. but you could have handled it better. \n\ncall her and ask her to meet with you. apologize for reacting the way you did but not for the reason. it was your life she was discussing with her friend and you have every right to choose who knows about it. but don't let your friendship end because of it. if she cares enough she'll understand where your coming from. \n\ngood luck!

think about when somebody makes you mad.  what do you want that person to do? apologize? give you space? comfort you? what? i suggest that you try what ever would work on you.  use your own judgment.

it really depends on what you told your friend.\nif it is something that can hurt the relationship, than you have to offer your sincere aplogies...if he doesn't forgive you it's out of your court.  he then has control over wether or not the relationship can continue in a heathy fashion.\nBUT if you told your friend something that there's no point in getting upset about, that's totally his fault for getting angry.  then you have to say- listen that was not something that could hurt either of us emotionally, so i have no control over your reaction!

I would tell him that he hurt me whether he was joking or not and if he apologizes, accept it. People say a lot of things they don't mean when they're mad. If he is truly your friend, he'll apologize, if he doesn't then I'd say, "Ya know what? When you decide to apologize, I'll listen, until then, I would rather not be around you."

There is no guarantee that he won't get mad at you because he is the one who gets to choose how he reacts. I would confront him anyway, because YOU wouldn't be a real friend if you didn't... and if he gets mad, the best thing to do is hope that he matures, realizes what he was doing was wrong, you WERE doing what's right by telling him and he'll get over it... and THANK you!\nI know it's a tough situation to be in, but doing what's right despite the other person's reaction (no matter how much you love and care for them) shows good character and integrity.

you need to tell your friend how she is making you feel. besides being on the computer, how is it that she makes you feel like you are being treated poorly. what she is doing may not be on purpose. sometimes people do or say things unthinkingly or because it is what they are used to having done to them and it becomes 2nd nature . \n\nafter speaking with her- if she does the ugliness again- at that moment say- when this happens, it makes me feel like such and such. after pointing out a good example of the behavior you do not like and she continues to do it- terminate the friendship. say. ya know i really like you alot as a friend but i cannot tolerate you treating me this way. good luck, best wishes and no hard feelings but cya later

When someone gets mad at me I can tell because they stop talking to me. I usually let them chill for awhile and then I say something really silly to them. Sometimes it helps just to give them a hug. Being mad at someone you really like is silly.

You should apologise.  For whatever is making her mad.  The apology should include how sorry and bad you feel because you did something wrong and show that you understand the impact on her -- how it affects her.  You can ask her to forgive you.  It's not a simple process.  Plan in advance what you will say.  make sure it includes those components--i made a mistake, i'm sorry, i understand how it made you feel.  i am throwing myself on your mercy and asking forgiveness.

prove that your friendship was true to you and do not seek revenge.  That is just stupid.  We all think about it, but be the better person.  Maybe just let him or her know though, that you are pissed and hurt, but not stupid.

Life is too short to dwell on a petty persons actions isn't it? \nYou know the rumors are not true, and so would a friend, so anyone who can be turned against you so easily, sadly wouldn't have been a true friend.\nI am sorry she is being so bothersome, it can really disrupt someones life to have that happen to them, and I hope things settle down soon for you.\nAs you've already said, about her actions not speaking of intelligence, it sounds very true.\nShe may have a lot going on in her life, but it is not fair of her to play such childish games.\nLive your life, and don't give her the satisfaction of letting her know it bothers you, she just wants to get your goat. \nIn fact, just brushing it off completely, and being happy that you are not the one being so impish would even be better!

Ask her - if you don't mind spending the rest of the day being shouted at for absolutely no reason.  \nLook at it this way- if she's mad at you and you don't realise or understand what you've done then you've got no chance.  \nBuy her something shiny.

i suggest you keep that secert and just stay distant from that friend , because she might be mad enough to hurt you

Well this is going to sound really cliche, but if they are hurting your feelings then they probably aren't true friends.  But I bet you they don't have many other friends either, and they don't want to lose you as a friend.  \n\nIt's hard to know exactly what to say without knowing specifically what the problem is, but you might try saying "could you please stop" then explain why what they are doing is making you upset.  Here comes another cliche: if they don't stop hurting your feelings then you need to find new friends.

Part of the problem is that you think it's a stupid reason, your friend doesn't. Go apologize and get it over.
