Re: Sad or stupid reasons you've parted ways with friends

[(Anonymous)]

1) Just because you're cool with it doesn't mean everyone else has to be, too.

2) diet_poison's friend might not have known beforehand, but when she found out, that was her chance to ease off and apologize for inadvertently creeping out her new friend. Instead, she doubled down and decided THAT was the dealbreaker. It's really, really obvious that diet_poison isn't the unreasonable person here.

Yeah, sorry, deciding that someone who's going to flip the fuck out over a friend giving them a nickname is too much drama to bother with isn't unreasonable.

"Got defensive" =/= "flip the fuck out" so okay

"I don't want to be friends with you over this disagreement" is way more dramatic to me so again, no real loss to me

If someone who was a new-ish friend of mine got defensive with me because I'd given them a nickname, I doubt I'd stop being friends with them, but I'd probably settle my aim on being not overly close friends. (And I'm not even someone who gives nicknames!)

Re: Sad or stupid reasons you've parted ways with friends

Yeah, to be honest I would probably apologize (I've been taught to de-escalate as a first line of defense in most situations) but then quietly file this person under "takes some things waaaay too seriously" in my head, and that would likely color all my interactions with them from there on out.

It's totally fine to tell people not to call you things you don't like, but there are probably cooler ways to go about that, especially in a new relationship with ambiguous boundaries.
