After the social media debate, my friend forgot about me

Recently, my friend stopped talking to me because of a social media post. I don’t fully understand the situation, but I’m really torn up inside because we’re not speaking. Should I still be friends with someone like that, or should I admit my mistake and apologize?

Something similar happened to me last year. I shared something on my story sarcastically, and my friend took it personally and got upset. I talked it out and fixed things, but I thought to myself, how long can you be friends with someone who’s this sensitive?

It’s hard to comment without understanding what you shared and why it was so messed up. I mean, did they feel seriously about themselves? :flushed_face:

@kahvebitmeden it wasn’t actually directly about that, but I guess it touched on it. It had made me upset in front of others once before.

@biseydiycem but dude, it’s strange to poke at people with irony for no reason and then wonder why it happened. You need to clearly know what you’re talking about.

If the situation is completely misunderstood, you might try to speak clearly first. But if there’s another reason hidden behind it, this level of fragility is a problem. If talking doesn’t bring a solution, consider keeping your distance for your own well-being. :sweat_smile:

I think the issue isn’t that post, it’s something else. If there are such serious disruptions, it feels like there’s something going on behind the scenes :flushed_face:

If that’s what it takes for friendship to end, then there was never any friendship to begin with.

@aklimkaldi I think you should explain that first cancellation issue again from the beginning. Maybe something will come out of it :woman_shrugging:

try speaking, if it doesn’t work, leave it. it’s that simple.

It seems to me that ever since that initial breakdown, they’ve been bottling something up inside. Maybe back then, you couldn’t fully talk things out and resolve it. They might have used this post as an excuse to blow up, but it won’t get resolved without opening up and talking about it :roll_eyes:

Sometimes these things blow up over a trivial excuse, but sometimes what looks like an excuse actually really matters. What was that post, for instance? Why did it hit so hard? We should take a look to see if there’s any meaning to be drawn from it :roll_eyes:

Also, think about this: did he say something similar to you or you to him before this discussion? In other words, did this sharing issue possibly trigger a direct cycle? If there’s something accumulated, it could serve as an excuse to cut ties.

Sometimes people use arguments as an excuse to end a relationship they intended to finish anyway. Since they say they’ve “forgotten,” it doesn’t seem like they called or asked anything. The main issue could be whether they are ready to move on without looking back or not.
