So I have a bit of an issue with my stubborness thats causing a problem with a friend right now.
>friend is autistic but a great funny guy mostly
>we get into arguments a lot, but its usually in good fun
>both of us are stubborn, probably equally so
>we get into an argument recently over something very minor and stupid
>decide I cant be bothered with this and delete him because of how stupid he was being
>want to chat to him again but I'm still annoyed about the issue and dont want more stubborn bullshit to occur
I would just talk to him outright, but I dont want to make it seem like I am crawling back. Is that too petty or is there something I should be doing instead? I don't really know if I should just tell him I wanna talk but he still needs to resolve the issue because honestly he hates talking about problems we face with him being annoying and neither of us will change.

Just talk to him and point out stupid bullshit.

That isnt really easy. He refuses to talk about it and will not see reason
If it's very minor and stupid then you could be the bigger person and let it go.
Maybe enlighten us to the BS so we can see what's the go?

And what exactly are you stubborn about?

Well essentially we had a group that he was leader of on discord, and whenever we got into an argument he would kick me from the group, so I said if you won't give your leadership to someone more reliable or make a new one I can't rejoin as he would get buttmad and do this a lot.

So you fought over what to do in a video game and this has put the friendship into jeopardy?
That... really is stupid.
Just don't play video games with him anymore.
Or accept that his autism makes change incredibly hard, and unless you are also autistic, that you have the role of being the fluid one.
Which is more important?
Keeping him as a friend and maybe sucking at video games, or not having him as a friend and sucking less/being good at video games?

First of all discord is how you talk to people online in groups, so no not quite.
Second of all I would never stop playing vidya with him.

I know what Discord is.
Then just play the game. If this is the only problem then you have a better friendship than a lot of people.
Or get the group involved. Or make a new channel that you're the leader of and invite everyone to that one, but that could turn messy and would only work if the groups numbers were low and everyone was willing.
Otherwise, just have fun playing the game with a good friend, even if he is a stubborn douchebag sometimes.
Gently reminding him now and then may also, eventually, maybe lead to him being more receptive. Maybe. Depends on if he is the self reflecting type.

Thats probably not bad advice
