Go you happy cheeks! Yeah this sounds like kid stuff. But sadly adults do it to. Idk why. Ppl get strange. But i agree work on you

That's all one can do.
But if your friend starts to be mean again Blah on that. Maybe ask what's up. Idk- i'm in confronting mood lately so maybe don't ask what's up- but i do know you shouldn't just accept it. If ppl are being mean for no reason , we can accept who we chill with and associate with

best of luck!
