Hurt by what friend said?

My friend and I were talking about how annoying it is to always be the ones to organise things with other friends, sometimes feels like if we didn’t ask we wouldn’t see other people. (Referring to our non mutual friends)

Friend then said - it gets really annoying being the one who always organising to see people, that’s why I don’t bother to ask to hang out with you as I know you’ll ask me so it’s nice to have a break.

So she knows how annoying it is but was happy to let me do it?

It's not something I'd be hurt about. I'm an organiser and happy being that way.

You're over thinking it @xcxcx ❤️

Sounds like it was a compliment. Although is kind of funny (haha) when you think about it in that way.

It sounds like she was meaning to say something nice about your friendship, and that she feels comfortable with you. But I can understand why you feel annoyed!

I would say that's a nice thing she's saying she doesn't have to chase you because she asked to spend time with her

Don't over think that and read too much in to it. I don't believe she meant to offend you in any way. I'd take it as a compliment. 😊🥰

It was a clumsy way to put it but she's basically telling you what she appreciates about you!

It was just worded awkwardly is all. Honestly, dont take this to heart- it was an honest compliment

Shake this off if you can, it doesn't feel like something of any substance.

GreyCarpet · 24/08/2024 09:58

And in a normal friendship, you'd laugh and, "Yeah? Well it's my turn to have a break next time then 😜."

Why on earth wpuld you be HURT by it?! The mind boggles at some peoples sensitivities!

I sympathise with this and would be annoyed. I used to be the organiser. It's a thankless task: often with people complaining of date, cost, venue and whatever else it could be. So I stopped, and no one else stepped in, so nothing ever happens!

People have since seen it is hard and made similar comments about how they aren't an organised person like me. It's not exactly hard to put a group text together with dates and a restaurant or whatever!

That turned in an equal rant haha. But I get the feeling you have; I partly quit because I got sensitive and hurt to the complaining or just lack of response.
