[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 699088, member: 4152"] Many thanks again, Copa. So much wonderful insight! I do think it was good that she didn't react negatively to what I had to say to her when I spoke up about her doing something that I felt was inappropriate and hurtful. For another time and thread...but if you inadvertently hurt a friend, even if you feel they are being "silly" or too sensitive or don't agree one iota with what they are saying .... is it appropriate to apologize? I always think so, because I would never feel ok about hurting someone even under that type of circumstance and would want them to know I feel sorry that I inadvertently hurt them in some way, shape or form. But, yes, it was a sort of "gift" that she didn't get upset when I confronted her that one time with inappropriate behavior. It was good to know that I can do that sort of thing (be honest regardless of the difficulty) and very nice to know that it doesn't always mean that a confrontation is about to ensue. I do not hold it against her that she didn't apologize. the fact that she didn't get upset/take it personally means that she is a very special person...I already knew that. These are unique circumstances and a unique period of time. [/QUOTE]
