My friend is mad at me because she dosent know how take a joke. how do I apologize?

Question

Well my freind seems to be mad at me because I talked about her car because she said that I always need rides from her and thats the only way i get out the house is if she comes and gets me and takes me to my destination. okay so We were in front of a whole bunch of people so being the person I am I had to say something back. also the whole time we were arguing it was a joke and we play argue all the time so i wonder why this time she took it serious. she told me i wasnt going to get a ride from her but i really needed a ride because it's winter and I don't want to get frost bite on my hands lol. but I told her no and we sat in her car for about 30 mins in the parking lot arguing about that situation. so she took it upon herself to say "well ur always talking about someone's car and always the first one in." and from there I had just had enough and got out the car and walked off.If has been 6 days since we talked. So i a just wondering how would I got about apologizing?Or shouldn't I?

Answer 1

If you owe her an apology, then she owes you an even bigger apology. It's ridiculous to play argue one minute and then take it serious the next minute. I don't care what kind of mood you might be in, it's just not right to take it out on the first handy target. I'd be willing to bet that maybe your friend resents riding you around all the time, but just never had the guts to say anything about it. If I'm wrong, she may have had a bad day. It's still no excuse to lash out at you and not expect for you to say anything back to her ... especially with the two of yall's history of joking around. I would make myself open and available, just in case she wants to open up communication with you. You can even be the first one to begin the conversation ... without apologizing. Why should you? You did nothing wrong. You were only doing what you have been allowed to do throughout your friendship. Just make it plain that you're not angry with her, and that you're not holding a grudge. She might be staying out of your way because she knows she's wrong, and don't know how to apologize or open the doors of communication with you.

If at all possible, I would even try to get a ride ... even if it's no more than a bike. Sometimes friends won't say it, but they start to feel like they're being taken advantage of even if that's not the intention. Stupid, considering that all they have to do is open their mouths (and not under the guise of a joke) and say something. Hell, nobody's a mind-reader! Anyway, if you're short on money, but have enough to take a city bus or anything cheap, I'd definitely look into that ...

Good Luck and God Bless!!!
