Fights, disagreements, discourse, however you label it, they're not exactly rosy situations to be in with a friend. Whenever you're in this uncomfortable state, were you the one that reached out or stay silent?

If it's bothering me I'm going to reach out and I expect my friends do the same I'm not a mind me reader and I'm not always going to make the people around me happy so if you have a problem with me let's just talk about it I can't do that then we probably shouldn't be friends anyway

I think in the past I reached out, but now I kind of just go with the flow until they approach me and feel like my tolerance for bullshit has waned significantly.

When I was in college, I had a situation where I was told, hey, like, I can't read your mind. And since then, it stayed with me. So if something bothers me, I am definitely going to reach out and talk on it because I'm like, we need to move forward.

i think this mindset of not being a mind reader also certainly applies to like everything in life, right? like your co-workers, your family, your parents, like even children.

Yes, if I feel like something doesn't sit right with me and I feel like it's something that will negatively impact the friendship, then I will definitely reach out and let them know how I feel about it.

Yeah, I used to like to just reach out and try to resolve everything, but the older I get, the less tolerant I am and prefer someone to come to me instead.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Why do I feel like if you're more tolerant then you're more likely to go with the flow and if you're less tolerant then you're more likely to speak up about things that bother you?
