When a close friend of mine, tells me he feels like I judge him.  I’ve come out of my shell A LOT, since I first moved out of my parents house.  I spent a lot of time letting other people shape my opinions, and not letting myself shape my own.  Since then, I have tried so damn hard to be accepting, friendly, and an overall, good, human being.  So hearing this from him, just kinda stung.  He told me something I thought was funny, I responded with, “dude, that’s so sick.”  I meant sick as in like “cool” or “rad” not as in it actually being a gross situation.  It hurts my feelings, knowing that someone thinks I would judge them, or single them out.  I hate that shit, because I feel that way all the fucking time.  I try so hard to choose my words, but often times, my dry tone is taken as being serious.  I want to try harder, because I don’t ever want to offend anyone I consider a friend.  I apologized, and he told me that he didn’t mean what he said, and that he was just feeling weird tonight.  I still feel like that shouldn’t be the case, he shouldn’t feel judged, looked down on, or out of place, whatsoever.  Especially amongst friends.
