My best friend of 5 years said they hated me.
This support was great to speak with and very helpful.
i loved having the guidelines in screen and that i got a reminder not to reuse the same tactics too often.
maybe you can give us the category of the issue that the person is coming to us with.
hi how are you feeling today?

oh hate is such a strong word for your friend to use
assistant
Reflection of feelings
Yes it was and I am dealing with family problems as well and she just told me she hated me with no reason.
user

oh that is quite a pile of conflict on you. you must be feeling emotionally overwhelmed
assistant
Reflection of feelings
I am, why would someone want to do something like this. I am not sure if it was brought on by her boyfriend or what but she was one of my best friends
user

the boyfriend could very well be the reason she is lashing out at you. maybe she is projecting her feelings toward her boyfriend onto you. has she had problems with her boyfriend in the past
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing,Question
I am sure but I just wish she would not have said that to me. This is a new boyfriend that she started dating about 6 months ago.

you're feeling a bit like a punching bag because she has chosen such strong words without a reason, right?
assistant
Reflection of feelings
Yes, and I am not sure how to react to what she said. Should I just leave her alone and let her come back around to me or reach out after a week or so?

has she ever spoken to u in this way before? or similarly
assistant
Question,Others
She never has that is what is weird to me and makes me thing it is something or someone else that caused her to want to say it.

A lot of times, people lash out in times when they are feeling stressed and the people closest to them can end up getting the brunt of it.
assistant
Information
That makes sense but I just wish I knew why she said it. Did I do something to her, did someone say something to her etc? Maybe I should just wait to talk to her when she needs me for something?
user

maybe you should let her know that you love her and say that you would never want to hurt her, so if you've hurt her, you'd like to know what you've done so you can avoid doing it in the future
assistant
Providing Suggestions
Thank you, that is really great advice.
user
null
but you have to make it clear that you cannot accept that kind of disrespect in the future if she can not come up with a reason for why she said it
assistant
Providing Suggestions
Do you think I should do this sooner than later or just wait?
user
