Dear B. Lord Buckley,

Lately, there has been a lot of tension between my best friend and me. I don’t want to say or do anything that might jeopardize our friendship. I’m scared that she might get angry and won’t forgive me. But recently, she’s been especially short-tempered with me. I just don’t know what to do.

From, Fearful Friend

Dear Fearful Friend,

I’ve seen friendships come together and fall apart. I know it’s very hard in this situation to figure out what to do. But if she is really your friend, then you should just tell her how you feel. She will forgive you. It’s okay to speak up in a friendship. The whole point of having a best friend is to have fun and enjoy each other’s company. You shouldn’t just have to tolerate her. Speak your mind, and if she is really your best friend, she will understand. Good luck!

Sincerely, B. Lord Buckley
