Hello Everyone

Today I spoke with a friend at college regarding a topic that wasn't a big deal but I realized later that I shouldnt have brought it up. I called my friend to apologize for bringing it up and ask if "everything is ok between us"...and she said yes.

She sounded tired on the phone so it was hard to "read" what she was saying.

Am I over reacting to the situation?

My theory on that sort of thing is this: you apologized, now the ball is in her court. Let it go. If she gets over it, awesome. If she doesn't oooo well!

I wouldn't worry about it!

I would approach her a little later and talk to her about it. Hopefully she'll be honest if something is bothering her. In any case, you apologized so hopefully she meant what she said when you asked if everything is okay between you two. I wouldn't worry about it though. Your instinct was probably right and she probably was just tired.

I think the advice you've gotten already is very sound. You said you're sorry and can do no more. I don't know that I would bring it up again unless there is a reason, bringing it up again might open the wound unnecessarily.

Ok I over-reacted......

I talked to her tonight and everything is fine! I think I am just stressed out to the max and worried myself unnessarily.

Thank-you for all your advice and comments!
