The Journey

Walking on eggshells

I just don't know what to do.  I feel as if I have to walk on eggshells with Kara.  She's one of my best friends, and she says that I get her.  But sometimes I really wonder.  I can never tell what kind of mood she'll be in.  And when I think she's in a good mood, she's not.  And then there's me.  I never know what I'll say will set her off.  I don't try to hurt her, but in some way my words find some way to hurt her or make her mad.  I spend my time thinking so hard before I talk to her, that it's hard to talk to her. 

Like yesterday for example.  I said something to her, just teasing.  And she gets upset.  And completely hangs up on me.  I knew she was upset cause she always says bye and she didn't that time.  So, I figured I pissed her off, and she needed some time to calm down.  And later she calls me and apologizes for blowing up.  She says it was her and not me. 

She always says it's her  and not me.  So, if it's her, then why can't she do something about it.  If she's the problema nd not me.  Why can't she think before she speaks.  I love her, she's  one of my best friends.  And I want to help her.  But I just wonder if her attitude will end up destorying our friendship.  I sure hope not.  But that's my fear right now.

Not much else to say.

you know, Ashley, friendship is one of the hardest things ever to support. and there is always someone in the relationship who is a bit wiser than the other one. when you really love your friend and you know what the problem is, just try not to take notice of what she is saying when you know that she really doesnt mean so. besides you can always discuss that with her and explain to her that it hurts you hearing such words from her.
still i hope you wont lose a friend just because she sometimes doesnt take care of what she is saying.
have a good day and take care,
