Yesterday my friend wanted me to sleep over her house another day but I cou ldn't because I had a bbq to go to and she wanted to come. So I called my parents asking if they could ask my aunt so they did but she said no. Then she got pissed at me because I wanted to go even if she couldn't go. I think it is really dumb but I don't know what to do. Last week she got mad because she couldn't sleep over my house. What should I do? How should I talk to her because I want her to stop getting mad at me over stupid things.

hope i helped

She gets mad over stupid reasons, just tell your friend you have to do things with other people and not with her all the time. She has to realize that you dont have time for her!!!!!!!

Riny13 answered Tuesday July 4 2006, 6:11 pm: if she was a good friend she would understand. you most likely stressed out because of this. Just try to explain that it is not your fault that you have to do things your parents want you to do. Before your friendship get way out of hands try talking to her.I hope that this advice helps you.

Helpful answered Tuesday July 4 2006, 1:09 pm: My best friend is sometimes like that. Deep down, she's probably worried that you won't be able to spend time with her, and she's worried that she won't be your friend anymore. Tell her that your friendship is going to last and that you can do something with her later, but that this bbq is something important to you. Hope I helped!

coolru answered Tuesday July 4 2006, 1:03 pm: Well you need to tell her that she cant get mad at every little thing. If she was a real friend she would understand what is going on. So you need to talk to her about that or you would have to DROP her as afriend. [ coolru's advice column | Ask coolru A Question ]
Moop answered Tuesday July 4 2006, 12:50 pm: hmm. the same thing happened to me ten minutes ago.
right now I really do not want to talk to my friend whose aunt is having the barbecue. I don't want to see her. I'm extremely POed, but it's stronger in my case because I've broken plans with 3 other people just because I hadn't done anything with that friend in about a month.
if she calls you again today ask her if she wants to do something on a day you KNOW she has nothing to do. if she has rehearsals or practice for something every night, don't ask her to do something at night. it'll just annoy her more because she'll think that you don't take the time to know her schedule.
also, if you're of driving age or have people who would be willing to drive you places, consider buying her candy or flowers and taking them to her house sometime today when you're not at your aunt's house. your aunt will actually probably understand if you have to leave her barbecue to go do it; everyone has been stood up and has stood up someone at some point.
it may seems dumb, but it's probably a lot different to her. she has to stay at home and think about everyone else having a good time for the rest of the day. that's hard to deal with. [ Moop's advice column | Ask Moop A Question ]
baby_monkey answered Tuesday July 4 2006, 12:47 pm: well..first of all she didn't need to get mad over things like that. she has to understand that if your parents say no, then you cant change the answer. talk to her & ask her why does she get mad over things that are not your fault. maybe she thinks that you are the one that doesn't want to sleepova at her house. but still she has no right to get mad at something like that. she has to respect you parents destions & your desitons matter as well. talk to her and hope you guys can solve your problems. best of luck!
LoveToLaugh37 answered Tuesday July 4 2006, 12:44 pm: Whoa that's creepy haha..Does she have any other friends? Maybe she's worried that you will like ditch her for some other friend or something. Or maybe she is worried that you guys aren't spending enough time together. Or you could just ask her why she gets so mad. For the BBQ thing, just tell her that you can't help it, it's not your fault she can't go.
