Feelings are hurt on both sides, but this isn’t the time to talk about them. Leave things alone for now and trust that your friendship will heal.
You’re too wrapped up in the consequences of a decision you haven’t even made yet. Shake yourself free and try again with a more straightforward approach.
Just because a friend didn’t mean to hurt your feelings doesn’t excuse what happened. You still deserve an apology.
Jumping to hasty conclusions isn’t a problem as long as you apologize for it. People love a public display of remorse.
Fear of rejection can work on you like a psychic hangnail but have more faith. The general rule of thumb is the longer it takes someone to reply, the better your chances of getting a yes.
Work with the system in place. Though not long for this world, it’s there long enough to make life difficult at work if you don’t.
