Like I said, I’m not saying I think you were trying to be mean or weird, just giving you a possible perspective of your friend who is obviously offended. She’s offended for a reason, whether the reason is right or not, I don’t know.
Why didn’t you tell us the context from the beginning? That is kind of a drip feed. You basically came on here and said you did all the things I said you should have done. I mean you went down my list and repeated them here. Well, we don’t really know that is true because you waited until you read my post to then claim you’d done it. Maybe you did, maybe you didn’t.
I think you may have had good intentions but what you did was weird. I also think it’s weird that you are stubbornly refusing to see it from her perspective, and I think it’s weird that you don’t simply go to her house, or call her and say, I did not mean to offend you by framing your poem and sending it to you. I felt like I was honoring your beautiful poem. Apparently it struck you as offensive or weird. Please tell me what was wrong so I can understand and not do it again.’
Instead, you text, sorry I offended you. Just very plain. No curiosity on your part to find out why she was offended or to make yourself clear to her. If you’re so close that she sent you that poem, then you should be able to talk it through and reconcile.
