My best friend (let's call her "Ruth") and I are no longer on speaking terms, and she says it's all my fault.
Essentially, here's the facts:
- About a week ago, I made a lighthearted comment, asking her what color her crotch hair was (she's a redhead). I didn't mean anything by it.
your first comment was fine. its a bit off color, not something i would ask someone, but its nothing to throw a pissy fit for. - She immediately took offense and punched me in the arm, which prompted a quick apology from myself.
i can understand her punching you in the arm, kind of like a knee-jerk "offended" reaction. your apology should have been enough to cover this. - She refused to talk to me for the rest of the day (despite me apologizing three more times).
like i said before, melo-dramatic bullshit. you shouldnt have apologized. let her cool off on her own. if shes not willing to accept it the first time, then fuck her. she can stew for a day. - The next day, she still wasn't talking to me. I decided to let her go and calm down, so I leave her alone for the weekend.
smart move. - Today, my other best friend (let's call her "Holly") comes up to talk to me. Apparently, at Ruth's birthday party, Ruth came up to Holly and told her she shouldn't hang out with me anymore. Holly tried to make amends and get Ruth to see that she was being irrational, but Ruth just ignored her.
remember when i said i hate how girls handle shit? this is what i mean. they pull every other girl they know into it, and then the girls who get pulled into it are just as dumb and automatically take her side because "aww, she feels bad". looks like you lucked out with "holly", as it seems that didnt happen with her. - This prompted a... somewhat violent reaction from me, and I yelled at Ruth for trying to get my best friends to leave me. I give Ruth a shove at the end because she isn't listening to anything I'm saying. The shove isn't hard enough to hurt her, but I hoped that it would knock some sense into her and make her see that she's being irrational.
when you say not listening, do you mean staring off with an irritated look on her face, or carrying on like a child with her hands on her ears? the shove was a bad idea imo because again, girls summon their holy circle of friends to go against you.
im going to go off topic here for a second and just make sure you realize that when girls start talking to their friends about who's an asshole, etc..., that shit spreads so far that people you dont even know will be giving you the stink-eye, and youll never even know why.
also youre not supposed to hit girls or anything like that. i could write a god damn novel explaining why thats a double standard, but thats for another day. keep yourself out of trouble, and dont do anything like that again.
- Ruth complains to all her friends that I have done some great wrong to her, about half of whom now want to beat the living shit out of me. Ruth is still ignoring me, and has blocked any attempts by myself to bring about negotiations or any kind of reconciliation.
what did i say above? all i can tell you here is that if anyone confronts you, keep your cool and tell them to "consider the source". if they give you that "what the fuck" look, just briefly explain that you know this "ruth" character has turned them against you, and that if theyre that immature that they cant look at both sides before forming an opinion, they can fuck right off along with ruth - She has also stopped listening to Holly or any of her other real-world friends, all of whom have taken my side on the matter. She insists that I have done something majorly fucked-up and should do something about it to appease her, although she neglects to tell me what it is I should do about it.
HAHA! appease her? oh god damn fuck that. if there was any sympathy for this asshat at any point in this story, it is goner than gone now. its a good thing holly has a good head on her shoulders. dont give a fuck what ruth wants from you now. shes being an immature brat trying to get negative attention from you. dont even pay attention to her anymore. if she cant see that shes losing a good friend, then good. she doesnt deserve you, and you dont deserve the shit shes giving you. if she confronts you negatively (that is to say, to bitch more) just tell her you really wish she would be more mature about the situation, and walk away. its an ego hit to walk away from somebody you know you can beat (verbally or otherwise), but believe me, its going to hurt her ego alot more.
I brought this up here to get your guys' opinion on this and maybe knock some sense into her. Any advice would help as well.
