ok so im friends with this one guy Will. we have this whole group of friends..4 girls and 2 guys including Will...i always feel like im saying or doing the wrong thing to him. for example..i always take his ipod and listen to it b/c it has better songs than mine ((also to kinda firt with him)). and i had no idea that he was mad at me for doing that but he told my friend Claire that he doesn't like it. and another time when i asked him for a bite of his pizza..he said no and i begged some more and then he said no still and ((jokingly))i said i hate you will...((jokingly)) but i think he took it the wrong way...simply put im always saying/doing the wrong thing to him...how do i stop doing saying or doing the wrong thing around him?

Simple: Think before you speak. It's honestly the only thing you can do to prevent saying something that might annoy or offend him.

Let's go back to the pizza situation. Think back, right when he said "no" for the first time. You want to beg some more, but you think: If I were Will, would I be annoyed? If the answer is yes, think of something else to say.
Same thing with the "I hate you" part. You should have thought about his reaction before you said anything.

It may seem like it will take a while to think about all of that, but it really only takes a few seconds.

I hope I helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to leave one in my inbox!
