Some people are.

I also suspect that she's not very comfortable being in conflict with people.

Like she said, she was so proud of herself for standing up for herself at the salon, which suggests that this was very new for her.

She hasn't had a lot of practice with that, which by the way, that makes me proud of you too.

That's a very big deal.

Good point.

So I get that.

But so much of the story is about what it actually takes to accept that someone else just doesn't like you right now, doesn't have positive feelings toward you.

And then what do you do about that?

If you're a healthy person, that's never going to be fun.

That's never going to be pleasant, obviously.

Totally.

The panic might be many things, but one of them I think is probably a very basic feeling of fear and overwhelm at an experience with another person that is foreign to her.

Yeah, we don't know.

That's a great question for her to ask.

But I also wouldn't be surprised if injuries built up in their friendship over time, like I said, and then they fell into certain roles without even realizing it.

One of those roles might be that Stacey is generally right and in charge and our friend here is generally, you know, agreeable and compliant.

And that's probably made it even harder to understand each other and communicate well.

Yeah, totally.

Anyway, I'm with you.
