When things between two people have a collision, there are just two ways to go about it:
You felt something was off, it hurt you, and you be an adult and communicate about it. And solve it by having a conversation where you make the other person feel safe while putting out how you felt. The tonality matters a lot here.
The second option is you realise the hurt is not worth it, so you resolve it within yourself. Your love and conversation with the other person is pure and pristine as before.
Sometimes we unknowingly tend to go with the third option, which is an amalgamation of both, and hence breaks trust in that friendship. You are mad at them but you do not communicate, and then when they ask you, you give them a piece of your mind, because, hey, they asked.
Any relationship in family or friends or anyone else is our responsibility. Sometimes when we do not heal the pain of some of our relationships, we bleed in those relationships that didn’t cut us, as a quote goes. Or we might think they cut us too, because we did not know that sometimes you can avoid cuts by being adults.
Being an adult is conversation about pain or self cancellation of pain. Venn diagram of no conversation and no cancellation is not how adults operate. The third option is only cutting you more. And you are already anaemic from the bleeding that has already happened.
