I've been talking with a particular person a lot recently, and... last night, I had a dream about them getting into an argument with me and us not being friends anymore...
I felt sad about that because... in a perfect world, we would be understanding towards one another and work it out... but since we don't live in a perfect world, what ends up happening a lot of the time is that you say something that makes them angry... and then they write a strongly worded message to you and block you...
I saw Tio write Frankie a strongly worded message yesterday... and that made me upset for a moment, because I knew Frankie was just trying to start a conversation about something... Tio seemed not to understand that at all, but maybe he did.
I think that... no matter what I do... this friend will inevitably explode on me... because I've seen them do it to others, and I'm not perfect and I say stupid things sometimes. I can keep my mouth shut, which I'm good at, but I think I'll probably let something slip at some point.
I don't *want* that... I just think it's what'll probably end up happening. And what should I do when it does? Tell them, "No, you're wrong, and that's not what I meant"? I doubt they'll buy it, but I can try.
@thebiologist1117 This is not true for everyone, I think communication is very important here, given enough time people can cool down and understand each other better.
