What can I do about my friends' image of me?
-
The friends that I have right now have an image of me that is "manly" and "aggressive" (I'm a girl) and to be honest, I'm not sure what to do anymore. I'm actually passive-aggressive in that I don't bother unless I'm provoked, which is daily. I think (not sure) that I started a fight with one of my friends online when he wrote the name of a state wrong and I commented on it because I am the kind of person who can't stand bad grammar and misspellings, both in speech and writing to the point that I irritate people. So, he rebutted me with a couple of harsh words (no swears but we are in high school) and I kind of reached my breaking point. His rebuttal resonated with my image which consists of me fuming at anything I don't like but this is not true. Right now, I'm not sure how to face him because we are supposed to be going together with a group of friends to the beach soon and I want to resolve this problem before it gets any worse. At this point, I'm kind of breaking down and I don't think I can stay together all that much longer before someone actually notices, help? (._.)

Answer:
The best thing you can do is apologize. I'm a lot like you, and it's kinda hard to change once people learn that is your style. You should talk it out and say things like "I'm sorry that i might have offended you, and that i value as a friend, and I don't think we should fight." Most of the time this works for me, even if you think you weren't the the one that did anything wrong. It might seem hard, but it make things a lot better.
