[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here: The story was so short like maybe 1 minute. It was about something my 16 month old son did. I think I'm overly emotional. I don't have my parents living anymore and my in laws do not speak English and live abroad. I don't have many people to share baby things with. This friend has been rude in other ways. I wanted to see what people do in these situations. I don't tell people usually because I find it rude. I was very close to my grandmother growing up and I got used to this I guess. Her stories were very long but she loved telling them. [/quote]

OP, I think a key detail here is when you mention that your friend has been rude in other ways. In that context I can see how there might be some shaky emotional trust to begin with. In a really solid friendship with no incidents of perceived rudeness, I don’t think it would matter.

I also think this is a good example of how it’s not what you say but how you say it that matters. If your friend said it with a funny tone it might come off rude. If said well I don’t think it would come off rude. Only you know this because you heard it though and know the context.

My advice would be to take note of it but don’t fixate. If your friends rudeness persists you might just not be that compatible as close friends and you can focus on friend building else where and let this friendship just be what it is.

Don’t worry. [/quote]
