We all know people who get offended way to easily.  You say any little thing and they take it completely wrong.  OR you don't even say anything rude and they get mad anyway.  How do you deal with people like this?  One of my best friends is like this and I can't take it anymore!  Ususally I just play it off like it doesn't bother me but when I say something rude its like I just killed someone.... I'm having trouble finding a middle ground with this girly!

My sister is like this. If she falls and I laugh she'll go crazy and get totally upset. Or  if I tease her in anyway she'll get so upset and just throw a big fit. I cant play around with her or anything its either I talk to her about serious things or laugh at something else. It drives me crazy, but thats her and theres not much I can do. Lately what I've been doing though was telling her how she gets mad over the dumbest things and then when she does I'll point it out to her. She gets even more upset but maybe it'll kick in her head someday. But my sister is younger, maybe your friend is more mature to handle the truth. I would mention it to her.

People like this come off as negative and who wants to be around a negative person!?  I'd say something to  your friend like why are you always so offended, I'd never say anything to hurt your feelings so stop taking things the wrong way.  And yeah, point it out when she does it, but not in a bad way, just as a friend.  Good luck :P

Thank you, okay I'm going to try that :)  It's getting to the point where my friends started calling her the Sour Apple lol.  Hopefully she will just drop her attitude and be her positive self again!
