<p>I used to be friends with someone and after an argument (which I have no grudges against him), he decides he just doesn't want to talk to me anymore. </p>
<p>The problem is, of course I'm going to see him in the hallways and stuff and IIRC, he said he was going to take a class at a certain time and I find out that the room I'm taking a next are right next to each other. So we're bound to see each other. Should I avoid walk in caution before heading the the classroom? </p>
<p>Also, I want to take class and I told him about it before our argument and he was so angry that I was taking it and he was saying I'm not going to do good, etc.. and he's going to take it (mostly likely the same time I am). Of course, there's no way I'm going to seat near him but what if he thinks I'm a stalker or something (certainly appears that way lol)? Should I just ignore him/don't look at him/walk past him? </p>
<p>Did you guys ever have to deal with this situation? What did you do?</p>
<p>It’s his right to decide not to talk to you any more, if that is what he wants, unfortunately.</p>
<p>However, it’s also your right to take whatever classes you want to take and to walk in the hallways of your school without slinking around in fear of a confrontation. He can talk all he wants to about how you will not do well in a class, etc., but remember that his talking has absolutely no impact on how you will do in a class–if anything, it should just motivate you to shine in that class. Sign up for whatever classes you want…scheduling is the school’s problem, not yours. Sit where you choose or where the teacher assigns you.</p>
<p>Don’t give him power over you. Be as polite to him as you would to any other person in your classes–no more or less so. Concentrate on pleasing the teacher, not him. If he does try to make nasty remarks in public on more than one occaision, one day just look at him and say something along the lines of, " You’re right. We used to be friends but we are not any more. So grow up and deal with the fact that I’m not friends with you any more. Deal with it." In other words, turn the tables on him.</p>
<p>OK well due to a series of unfortunate events, one of my previous best friends and I now hate each other. Last year, we were in the same program and in pretty much all the same classes. It may seem odd at first but believe me you’ll get used to it. Just don’t avoid him or avoid making eye contact with him or anything like that, you don’t want him to think you’re intimidated by him. Don’t worry you’ll be good to go.</p>
<p>You can see eachother without anything comming of it. He’s probably not going to think you’re a stalker, and even if he does he has a low opinion of you anyway, and no one else will think you’re a stalker.</p>
<p>When I was in secondary school one of my best friends and I had and argument. A long story short, I apologised for whatever she was mad about, she accepted my apology, talked to me for a day and then didn’t talk to me for more than two years. Yea she was in some of the same classes as me. I saw her sometimes when I went out. But why the hell should I make myself uncomfortable by avoiding her? I went about my life as usual. In the end, there was some class that we ended up sitting together for and she apologised for acting so silly. Apparently she forgot why she was mad at me.</p>
<p>So basically, walk where you have to walk, take whatever classes you have to take. You don’t have to explain anything to anyone. Don’t give him control over you.</p>
<p>Can someone explain to me why so many individuals on this site have difficulty articulating their questions/problems? It’s like half this site is suffering from ESL. Seriously OP, your babble is just barely decipherable.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice everyone. I hope Monday turns out okay. Unfortunately, I just know that I’m going to have a panic attack or hide anyway because I’m so afraid of seeing him >.< </p>
<p>nj<em>azn</em>premed, I have a horrible habit of just typing what comes to mind very quickly and I forget to proofread my entries. Sorry I just looked over the entry and I found run on sentences and grammar mistakes.</p>
<p>“I hope Monday turns out okay. Unfortunately, I just know that I’m going to have a panic attack or hide anyway because I’m so afraid of seeing him >.<”</p>
<p>Okay tell me something: Are you a homosexual or a girl? If not, you sure sound like one. If not, grow some balls and handle it like a man. You see the guy, shoot him a dirty look. He comes and tries to mess with you, tell him to shut the **** up and get lost.</p>
<p>YO nj<em>azn</em>premed, I know this is thread is old, but I think you got some major issues. Let me quote you here: “Can someone explain to me why so many individuals on this site have difficulty articulating their questions/problems? It’s like half this site is suffering from ESL. Seriously OP, your babble is just barely decipherable.”</p>
<p>Okay, sure, let’s assume you’re right. Here’s you in a subsequent post: “Okay tell me something: Are you a homosexual or a girl? If not, you sure sound like one. If not, grow some balls and handle it like a man. You see the guy, shoot him a dirty look. He comes and tries to mess with you, tell him to shut the **** up and get lost.”</p>
<p>What the hell are you trying to insinuate in your posts. I think you have a problem articulating yourself, and before you reply in a frenzy with some lame attempt at pointing out some of my failed grammar or lack of articulation, you need to realize what you’re saying here. Seriously dude, just chill out. There is absolutely no reason to add these backhanded stabs at both women and homosexuals (and I am neither) in your post. How might you be dissing homosexuals you ask? Well you ask if he’s a homosexual or a girl, and then tell him to then handle it like a man. Is a gay man not a man? Maybe you should articulate that better, considering that you are someone from the University of Pennsylvania. Furthermore, how might you be insulting girls you ask? Girls can deal with their problems just as effectively as men, though not necessarily in the same manner but at least in a way that doesn’t involve them losing control over their own lives. </p>
<p>Anyway I’m sure that the OP has found a solution to his own problem, but in the meantime, I suggest that the rest of this board donate their time to pursue some well crafted, “articulate” solutions for nj<em>azn</em>premed and HIS deeply entrenched problems with the world.</p>
<p>Same here… had a fight with a friend but thank god I haven’t run into her yet. o_O yeep. I wasn’t sure what to do if I did see her though, I didn’t wanna ignore her or glare at her or acknowledge her existence warmly either.</p>
<p>I would just continue to ignore them, but I am immature.<br>
If I was a different person, I would address the problem, and just say I think it would be sad to lose a friend over a trivial issue or miscommunication, but alas I am not that person.</p>
<p>Urgh me too. I can’t make myself say it. I also feel like she is babied alot and it annoys me and I don’t wanna give her this for the win. I know she makes her guy friends/boyfriends do it but alas I’m not her guy friend and I don’t wanna be treated like them. I’m kind of getting tired of these girly girls around me… I’ll probably do it in the end, I’m just lengthening it out… LOL. At least I took my sweet time.</p>
<p>Also I don’t like to show my emotions (except anger I guess) so saying things like “OH I miss you etc” gives me goosebumps. Urgh.</p>
I just looked over the entry and I found run on sentences and grammar mistakes.</p>
