You're right, I can't force anyone to act in a way that they don't want to. All I expect from my friends is loyalty, consideration, and respect back though. I don't think that's to much to expect, mutual kindness. Sometimes even friends can take us for granted though-
It's true that the older we get, the harder it is to find real friends! Especially for women! I still can't help but be irritated at my friends rudeness at times. If she doesn't want to hang out with me, then she should at least tell me that she can't, or that she's busy and not just ignore me and end up changing the subject after I ask her about that.
If this continues, I'll have to ask her about it in person so that I can tell how she really feels about hanging out with me by her body language, tone of voice, or her actions in general. It's to easy to avoid questions over a text or an email. I swear, I'm going to do just that the next time I see her and see how she reacts. Of course, I won't be confrontational about it!
I would like some ideas on how I can go about asking her why she didn't respond to my questions the last few times though. |
I would say, just come out and be bold. I know you're an introvert, as am I, but you really have nothing to loose. Even if she brushes you off again, at least she received the signal that you don't like being taking for granted or suffering with rudeness, particularly from another person who claimed to be a friend. Hope it works out for you.
