Is it really my fault my friend is upset about these boundaries?

[Anonymous]

Do you think it was my fault that my friend is telling me to get lost for things like hugging everyone except him, not taking his hand when he wanted to dance the Macarena, reacting badly when he touched my shoulder, going out with others alone but not with him, or letting others buy me food but not him?

Okay, if I were that friend, I'd be a little bothered too... you're clearly treating me different than everyone else.
Did something go down between y'all that made you switch up on him?
'Cause if not, I can see why he's pressed. If yeah, then that's a whole different conversation.

You are not responsible for how other people feel.

With that being said, I'm not sure why he'd want to be friends with someone who treats him as less than others. You sound like a lousy friend.

Well, it was us who approached him

No, he should accept what you tell him is okay and what isn’t. You are not at fault.

[Asker]

Yes, I know, but following that reasoning it's also true that I could "never reply" to messages and that would end up causing them to no longer be my friends, does that mean it's not my fault? What's the difference?

The Macarena from 1992?

No, it's your friend's fault for being a pest.

Yeah, it sounds like you’re being weird and rude. Why do you have these so called boundaries with him and nobody else?

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

Ooof... Macarena? You need a better class of people.

[Abbycado]

You are allowed to have boundaries.

Everyone can have them.

[In_Trance]

You asked this twice

[Asker]

I don't understand why, I post the question "Do you think it was my fault?" and the page automatically modifies and updates my question to something else or whatever.

Still no
