Well my friend gets mad extremely easy and at school on thursday morning she thought I was mad at her so she avoided me and told a lot of people that I was mad at her( I wasn't though) Then at lunch I went up and asked her if something was wrong and she told me that everything was fine but the rest of the day she was very rude to me and she began acting like she was mad so I was very concerned. So Friday I assumed she was mad at me and I avoided her at all costs and I talked to ONE friend about what she was doing. This friend went and talked to her about it and tried to get information to see if she was really mad or not. I was bound to ask her myself at one point but she knew that I had put this other girl up to asking her. So this girl came back and told me that she said she wanted ME to talk to her about it. So I did and that same thing has happened before where I have asked someone else to find out for me...but two days ago she had doen the same thing. She accused me of talking about people behind her back and she said that if I am going to do that then she doesn't want to be friends with me. We have been avoiding each other since and its really hard because we are with each other most of the time. We go to the same church, we have many classes and extra curricular activities together, so pretty much I need to smooth things over, but I don't know what to do and how to do it? Can you please help me?
Sincerely,
Alli

It is very stressful to be around people like that and this won't be the last time. If she was wrong, she knows she was. She will come to her senses. If you go running to her and wanting to make it all better each time she is like this, she's going to guilt trip you every time she wants her way. If you did nothing wrong and she still wants to behave like this you shouldn't do all of the work. Be pleasant but keep your distance. Be just cold enough that she may realize that she has done something wrong. If she is a friend she will wake up. She could get upset of course but perhaps you would get into the argument which seems needed. [ Professor_Kaos's advice column | Ask Professor_Kaos A Question ]
