it feels like i'm walking on eggshells when i talk to my friend
| i care about her feelings, but i get really impatient with talking and having to carefully think about literally everything i say. with most of my friends, we can talk normally and if we say things that accidentally offend each other or sound retarded, we can point it out and move on. but with her i just can't know.
not only that, but i'm always the one starting conversations. and when she does, she just will tell me "nevermind" or something and won't talk to me.
| i want to confront her about this, but i feel like i would hurt her emotionally, and i don't want to do that. i normally confront people about things if i have an issue with them, but not went they're like this.
it's hard to tell sensitive or people with socially anxiety these sorts of things for me because i know their self confidence might take a blow, or they'll just be more shy. it's a bit of a tricky situation for me and i'm not sure what to do
| sorry for the essay, just needed somewhere to ramble and put my thoughts together
| You should straight up tell her what you told us. Confront her about it, not in an agressive tone or anything, just to let her know the situation in hopes she will react in a positive manner.

| so, i've had a friend of mine that i've known for a few years now. we get along well and i like talking with her, but she's really sensitive. she has social anxiety and not a lot of friends, she's also been depressed for a while, and i completely empathize with that.
but, she's really really sensitive. it's really annoying to talk to someone when i have to worry about unintentionally offending her. i don't even jokingly say really mean things because i don't want to hurt her
