Q: my friend, ashley, and i argue ALL THE TIME. i dont even really know why anymore. we'd been friends since about a year and a half ago, and we have these arguments, which turn into fights because i get pissed do easily. then when i get pissed, she gets pissed and it turns into a fight, and we end up not talking until the other one apologizes.

our most recent fight was because she said something and i commented on it, saying something i thought was true, and she proved me wrong and then we argued about that for a while. (this was on AIM) and then she wanted to change the subject cuz she was getting mad. so then she said something about herself, and i commented on that, but she misunderstood me, saying that i didnt know everything about her and that i need to quit talking down on her for things i dont know.

see, i thought we told eachother everything. and then i figured out that it was just me venting, and her listening, and never really letting me into her personal life. and i hate it when people know everything about me but i thought we had a good relationship. obviously not.

so anyways, she took what i said the wrong way, and logged off and told me that she'll talk to me when she cools down. my moods lift up and down so quickly, so i told her that i'd be over it waay before her. and then i found out that she was still mad from a fight we'd had a week ago! and i thought we were both over it!

what im asking here is how in the world can we still be good friends, without me trying to pry into her life so ill be sure not to say anything stupid, that can be misinterpretted.

we mostly get in fights over texts and AIM. we never fight when we're talking on the phone or in person, if that helps any.

i just want to know what im doing wrong so i can fix it, and things can go back to the way they were when we had first started being friends. :(
friendship can often get out of hand somtimes but its up to us to make it real again. this is a problem that everyone has, everyone definetly has conflicts like these. they may be hard to figure out but sometime or later everything will be as the past. It seems to me that you guys should try to communicate over the phone or directly since you dont fight that way. The best probably for you to do is go up to her and tell her about how you feel about what you said and that you didnt mean it. I think she will understand. try letting your other friends talk to her once and see if that helps. Even i experienced fights like these, its common and it will probably be over soon. if your friend doesnt react in a positive attitude after you tried to speak to her then leave her alone and see if she'll forget it. when you see her smile and let her know that you are still there for her. make her feel that you really care about her and that you want to be together again. see if this advice helps and remember to let her know you are there and smile when you see her. Say hi any chance you get also hoping that she will do the same to you. i hope that this advice helps and that you 2 get back together! =)
