I know I've heard it a million times, but why is it that the people that love you the most can hurt you the worst. My best friend/cousin Rachel got in a little tiff the other night on the phone that made me rather pissed off. It just seems that every time I talk to her she tries to make me feel bad about myself. Just about a week ago I was

Always remember the 'self' in 'self-respect'! :) The opinions of others toward you are just that, 'opinions', not fact! Ignore what anyone else says you did or didn't do because what they think doesn't matter. It's what YOU think that matters and that's all. And in terms of what you think; remember it's your thoughts not others opinions that cause frustration, stress and anxiety. Love ya Yummy! :)

here's how I see it.................

I think that sometimes (especially with women) when you are close, the other person doesn't realize they are hurting your feelings. I'm sure if you say - "this bothers me and you're really hurting my feelings with these questions", she may not have thought that it was a big deal and give you the apology, especially since you are best friends. I would have to think that she is thinking because you are friends/cousins, that she can say things that most people wouldn't or inquire about things that most people would consider none of their business.
And if you do let her know how her questions are affecting you - and does nothing, well then I would say I love you, but unless you respect my feelings on this matter, we shouldn't talk for awhile............ and leave it at that........... it's all about putting it back into the other persons field. I think. :)

I think best friends, at times, are so close that they feel they can say/ask anything without offending their loved one. I've had it happen to me, that's for sure, lol. Being best friends these things tend to blow over quick enough because of the love that is shared. If you were hurt I would make sure she knew it, maybe she doesn't realize it? I'm not sure how deep the tiff went. If you dno't want to call her, don't right now. There will come a day when you do, or she calls you, and things will balance out and in a bit it will be "remember the time we were so pissed at each other?" Hang in there.
