Hey all. Yesterday, a friend of mine and I were talking yesterday and she told me about how she wants to be treated. By this I mean, she explained that she wanted to be reassured that she was fine in a stressful situation so that she could work.
It bothered me because I thought it was unlike her to ask that. She's always been a capable individual and yet she wants to be comforted? It didn't make sense to me. It escalated into an argument and for once in our friendship, she got really angry. It got so bad that eventually she snapped at me and said:
>Her: "Are you telling me you wouldn't change for anyone?!"
>Me: "NO."
>Her: "I-I would change for you!!"
After that, I was taken aback. She sounded like she was somewhere between flying off the handle and or bursting into tears. We just stopped that and we went back to more normal and calm banter.
I ended up apologizing because I felt like a damned fool. What should I do? What does this say about her? I feel like I was just given a glimpse into her mind or something... can anyone help me?
Just hug and comfort her

That was basically what she wanted anyway.

Then do it
have you tried taking out your dick in front of her?

That sounds a tad unorthodox.
My female friend is also very independent, but I learned that she's basically anxiety 90% of the time. A little external motivation can go a long way, especially to a stressed lady from a loved one.

So, is it a strict thing that women do?

Friend or girlfriend?
If just a friend, let it go. You're not responsible for patting her on the head.
if girlfriend just keep it in the back of your mind that she needs reassurance every now and then.

She's a friend. If she was my girlfriend I'd definetley react differently.
