Fighting with best friend....and I don't think he CARES!!!!

[crowdlost]

So yesterday was an AWFUL, AWFUL day. I have been best friends with this dude for over 5 years and people look at us and always say we're like "brothers".

Then we got into a tiny argument in front of like 10 people and I jokingly hit him ln the back when he wasnt looking. It wasnt a hard, tough hit. Very small. And he ALWAYS hits me.

He suddenly got violent and we punched each other twice then he pushed me and I fell down to the floor. EVERYONE started laughing and I HATED that (especially since all the people who were there secretly hate me and adore my best friend and are ALWAYS jealous of our friendship).

I got up SO SO mad and grabbed my keys to leave and I heard him saying "what, you need a hospital now?"

It's been 12 hours and i am dying in here!!!! I want him to talk first, to apologize or something!!! I hate this "silent treatment" crap that we're both giving each other now.

My friends are telling me NOT to talk to him unless he talks first but the problem with that plan is that he is VERY stubborn and this could lead to him NEVER talking to me first and therefore the end of our friendship (which I don't want, i guess?)

I have had a billion issues with this guy before and he has hurt me in more ways than any person could ever hate ANYONE. not exaggerating.


Thank you. Just needed to vent SO bad.

Honestly, I think that you should talk to him and apologise first. Don't wait for him to do it, it seems less sincere. It sounds as though you made the first move by hitting him in the back, too, so it's probably a good idea to apologise and just explain you didn't mean to actually hurt him and you were just joking around.

For an argument to escalate that quickly, I think there must be some built up tension between you both that you need to sort out. How do you two get on? You say that you've had a billion issues with him, yet you're best friends?

I'd honestly suggest that you apologise, and give each other some time to calm down. Meet up again later (or even make an appointment to see a school counsellor together, if that's possible - just for the sake of having a mediator) and calmly discuss any problems that you both might have with each other. Don't get mad at each other, as that will only make things worse. If you're truly best friends, and you care for each other, any issues between you need to be solved.

End the friendship. I'm sorry, but that was very low and I would never forgive someone if they did that to me. If people still make fun of you and laugh at you, just smile back and don't show sadness or madness which is what they're craving. You just smile and act like you don't care about anything. I'm sorry this happened to you. I wouldn't talk to him and even if he does apologize I would end the friendship. Don't forgive him and accept him back, my best friend does that with one of her 'friends' and in the end she ALWAYS gets hurt but I stopped caring because if she wont care about my advice, then I wont care about her life.
