[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you want to give her the benefit of the doubt that she’s not generally a rude and obnoxious person (you said you really liked her), then I would construe her text as she doesn’t want to expand her pandemic bubble/activities, and it just came out weird and wrong and off-putting, but she didn’t mean it that way. If you want to engage, you could respond that you understand if they aren’t socializing right now even outdoors, and to reach out to you if they’d like to get together again in the future when things calm down. (Emphasis on “again” in case maybe she’s somehow confusing you with someone else?) Then I’d leave it alone.

I have a friend/acquaintance who says off-putting things sometimes over text or email that make me feel bad, and I just have to not engage. I really like her when I see her in person, but when people act like that, it’s hard to want to be better friends with them.

The onus is on the rude friend to reach out and apologize/clarify what she meant when realizes her friend has ghosted her. Perhaps it would be a good time for some self reflection on how she treats people. Until then, she said what she said. Leave it be. No need for OP to infer on her behalf - and get her feelings hurt even more if the woman says it has nothing to do with Covid. [/quote]
