Just as I was going to drive to the post office because their help line was just voicemail I saw the mailman. I asked him about my broken mailbox and he asked to see ID to make sure I wasn't trying to get someone else's mail I guess. He opened the mailboxes in the bottom row with his special key and handed me my mail. As I was going back up to my apartment I saw someone working on my mailbox! He was down there for quite a while. I decided to just go back inside my apartment and wait. As I was was getting some peaches to eat 🍑 I heard a knock on my door. The guy from downstairs handed me some new mailbox keys and said he had to replace the whole lock because the old one kept sticking/catching. So I got my mailbox fixed .

I also paid my bills- except comcast (I only have internet) because that one comes out automatically- and netflix does too actually.

Around 5:30, I asked K if she wanted to go to get some ice cream at Cold Stone. She replied, "After I'm done working." Since it was already 5:30 I figured that couldn't be very long. So I waited to eat dinner until I got back from ice cream. An hour goes by and now it's 6:30 without a word from her. I know she can get tied up on calls so I let the hour slide. The next thing I know- after I had started cooking dinner- she says "I just finished and I still need to eat dinner. Staying home." This pissed me off. Saying "after I get off work" sounds like "That's when I can/want to go to ice cream. I accept your offer but I'm working for a bit longer." Right? Am I being a brat here or do I have a valid point? Last time I asked her to do something before this she said she wanted "me time"- like I'm taking away her time alone by merely asking if she wanted to hang out. Maybe I need to accept that she's an introvert and I'm an extrovert and we clash on a lot of things because of this. And she has said yes to hanging out before then turned around 5 or 10 minutes later and changed her mind. This is nothing new, her behavior. To me, that's rude. Today was an hour later but still. It just makes me upset.

I'm so glad your mailbox issue is resolved! YAY!


I would be a bit hurt, too in the "K" situation, but it sounds to me like what you pointed out...she's an introvert. The situation most likely has nothing to do with you, but has to do with her need to be alone. She may need to learn how to assert that to people, instead of making up excuses.
