How do you tell your best friend she's wrong and the one angry at her has a right to be?

I just can't lie to her and say it's not her fault when it's not true.

Advice and Cheering up needed.
And I already told her what I thought. Now she's angry at me. And all that on msn. FML.

It's hard to say because it depends on the kind of friendship that the two of you have, but sometimes it's best to just tell your friend the absolute truth without trying not to hurt her feelings. If you confront her and tell her exactly like it is, it might be the wake up call she needs to realise she's been wrong all along. Friendships are about honesty, right? So you're being a good friend, and she'll realise that when she calms down.

I know and I couldn't have lied to her and told her she was completly right in her actions. It always annoys her that I pity people she was mean too or thought were silly from her describtions because I don't know them personally and if it's something I've dealt with too (Being shut out etc.) I pity them.

I wrote that I AM her best friend and I don't want to argue over msn either. Perhaps the person shouldn't have insulted her but I can understand why she was angry and it was not within my best friend's right to do what she did imo and I wouldn't be able to tell her anything else.

Okay serious advice time:

I think it's really important to just be honest with her, but try to see it from her side as well. Try to explain that you see where she's coming from but you can also see the other persons argument and subtely tell her you agree with the other more.

Also, I think this is something you need to talk about with her IRL. Fighting on MSN never works out. I'm an expert on that one.

Good luck bb, I'm sure you'll figure something out ^^

Yeah I know that and I said she should call me because it would explain better over the phone. But she had no time (but was online all the time >_> wtf?).

I said I understand and no one should take arguments to facebook and insults. But that doesn't change that fact that I agree with the basic thing the person says.

Damn dear, that's a tough one. >___> But well, if she is your best friend, then you should be honest with her. If your frienship is solid, it shouldn't be rocked over something like this. Sure, there may be some resentment for a while, but if you guys are true friends, then it'll go away eventually.

I suggest you talk to her in person, not thru msn. That way things will be a whole lot clearer.

Chin up, hun. ♥

I know that. And I think she knows I'm right it just wasn't what she needed or wanted to hear at that point because she was down already. But I didn't know what to say. I couldn't say: "What a bitch you were totally right in what you did." Because from what I knew she wasn't. She meddled in things that didn't concern her.

I also know that and I told her at the start she should call me and explain in person but she said she had no time for that.

Thanks :)
