Anonymous asked: when your friend is mean to you, do you think it's right to be mean just like how she treats you, or do you think it's better to act normal/nice to her like nothing happened?

Talk to her. Perhaps there’s something that happened and she’s just lashing out at you; maybe you both can talk and work things out and be better friends again.

No matter what, it’s not okay to be mean to someone, even if you’re only reciprocating how they’re acting towards you. But on the flip side, it’s also not okay to pretend that nothing happened - obviously something is affecting your friendship, and that shouldn’t go unnoticed and ignored. If you value your friendship, you’ll try to work things out and patch things up.
