Hey,

Ugh, yeah. I had a friend like this. It used to piss me off like crazy, and I thought she was making a huge deal out of nothing and being immature. This might be what your friend is doing. It certainly sounds like it. However, you need to think about your friendship with her. Do you want to remain friends? You're just going to have to keep in mind that when it comes to this one particular friend, you can't cancel on her. You might want to go about this by not making plans a while in advance, in case something else comes out. And when you do make plans with her, they're final. It's very insulting if you cancel to do something you think you'd like better. Usually people like this are very insecure, and feel rejected when you cancel. I know how annoying it is -- trust me on this one (lol) -- but you really do just need to know how to behave when it comes to this one friend, in order to avoid trouble. It's not worth making a huge deal about.

Well, two things. Firstly, yeah, I think your friend is being somewhat immature. Secondly, however, I do think you need to communicate some of your feelings with her. Clearly, she wanted to spend time with you today and was a bit gutted that she couldn't. She completely overreacted, of course, but perhaps you need to have a quiet word with her so that this doesn't happen again. I suggest that you leave her be tonight - give her time to cool off and possibly even realise how silly she's being - and try chatting with her about it tomorrow. Explain that you not playing rounders wasn't a personal thing against her but that you do, in fact, have a huge amount of work to do. I don't think you should worry a huge amount about this, though. She'll come round eventually, I think, simply because the argument is so petty and these sorts of arguments don't last long. Explain your side of it and explain that you don't want to argue about it, and see if that gets you anywhere. Fingers crossed that it'll blow over, yeah?

And if she chooses to continue not talking to you then, to be very honest, I'd leave her to it if I were you. Friends who blow up over the simplest things can be really stressful to deal with, so leave her to her own devices and to come out of it on her own, yeah?

Take care.
