AIW for being mean to someone in the moment?
This had happened a while back with one of my now ex friends who I’ll refer to as Ghost and Gigi. Ghost was venting to me about something very personal, yet mid-way through Gigi has walked into the room. I noticed Ghost pause in place so I had told Gigi something along the lines of “This isn’t the time, please leave.” I’ll admit, it sounds mean but in the moment I wasn’t thinking and was trying to get her out the room since Ghost seemed uncomfortable.
Gigi had told me that she just wanted to say hi to Ghost before she left the room. After Ghost was done I had went to go find Gigi to apologize and tell her that I genuinely didn’t mean to sound mean and it was in the moment. Yet I had seen Gigi talking to some of her friends on how mean I was and how mean Ghost was for not defending her when I said it, I understood why.
She obviously seemed upset so I had just waited for her to calm down before I went to apologize, she didn’t expect my apology (which is fine) and walked away. She never talked to me again and we went out separate ways.
