Hello.

i apologise for the intrusion.

i would like to ask for your help in a friendship-related matter.

If you decline, i understand.

[botia]

Sure, what can I do for you?

It depends on the person and their value to me. It sounds (from the information you've presented) like the problem lies with the other person, for whatever reason. If you're going to try to preserve the friendship, then you have to figure out why they are interpreting them that way. Perhaps there is something else that they're angry about and not telling you (recent experience on my part). Perhaps they are depressed or dealing with another emotional/mental illness, so everything they hear is processed through filters that twist it into something it's not. You'll have to figure out how to get around those filters and communicate with them, if you want to keep things alive.
