Your Friend Offends You With the Things They Say and Do
You probably have more patience when acquaintances behave rudely than when your friends do. That’s because we expect more from our friends. We think they should know us better and therefore when they offend us we’re shocked and disappointed.
First, make sure you aren’t the one offending others. Sometimes a friend will act rudely in response to something you did. For example, if you’re always late, your friend might begin showing up late because they feel that you’re not concerned about time as much as they are. Or, your friend might be trying to give you a taste of your own medicine by treating you like you treat them.
