How do you prefer to confront your friends who unintentionally hurt you?

You know they didn’t mean anything by it, and rationally you know that confronting it may not stop the hurt feelings, and you also don’t want to hurt your friend and bringing it up can feel like you’re doing it just to make them feel bad.

I give people the energy i want to give them, no more no less. When someone asked me a dumb question just to get my reaction i don't respond. To be around me and get my energy is a privilege and well people have to make me want to be around them. Sounds selfish but I see it as honesty. People waste a lot of energy I never noticed till I learned to protect my own.

i prefer to bring it up non-aggressively, show some sympathy, make it a short convo, and try to not make them overthink about it

it doesn't always play out like that lol it just depends on the situation
