Fighting


Question Posted Wednesday September 6 2006, 7:37 pm

This boy & I fight a lot, over the dumbest things. Like I'll jokingly say something slightly rude, and he'll take it so so so personally and not talk to me for a week. We are extremely close, and getting in these small fights about every week stresses me out badly. Is there any tips you can give me on how to avoid these fights? (And he jokes too, I just don't take it as bad as he does)

Talk to him and tell him maybe you guys are too mature for them small fights. Tell him this is on your mind and if he can't take the small jokes that you throw at him then why can't he take it like a true person like you do.

Hey! This boy sounds like when he gets upset he needs a lot of attention which is very immature. But, since you are so close you probably would hate the friendship to end, and it would be riduclous if this happened anyway :-). Just make sure that when you are joking it's nothing hurtful like you're so ugly (because although you may be kidding its not nice). But, if he's saying the same EXACT things back to you or similar (which you kind of said) and you're not getting upset and he is then that's not normal. Tell him this and if he still gets upset, tough cookies! I hope this helped so please give feedback my friend! :-).

You should try to talk to him about it and tell him that you hate fighting with him over these stupid little things and that you dont want him to take every thing so personally. And that you are only joking with him about some things that you say and you should let him know that because he might think that you mean it seriously and it might hurt him because you too are so close. He might just be more sensitive about these things than you are So you should try to talk to him about it and tell him that your not being rude and your only kidding with him. You could always try to be less jokingly kinda rude to him because he might take it the wrong way. You could always after you say something that might seem kind of rude and your just joking you could say you know im only kidding *name* you know i lovee you!. that would most likley make him feel bad. and you could tell him that when you two fight it really stresses you out and you just dont want to fight anymore.. i know what you mean about fighting with a guy over stupid things and then having it be stressful. If you have anymore questions ask me :)

hope this helped

I have the same problem you have-except it's me who gets mad..like I'll make a comment to someone, but if they ever said something like that to me I'd go berserk!! Find a level of respect for eachother. Maybe your style of humor is upsetting him. Insults are funny, but not to the person in the spotlight getting made fun of. If you're a random person then say more random things around him instead of insulting and offensive things.
