So my (29F) have a best friend (29F) has been really wearing me down emotionally. She has a lot of anxiety, which I totally get, but it’s starting to feel like no matter what I say, it’s never enough. For example, she’s been begging for a “bestie night” and I told her clearly that I want that too, and even set a specific date. I reassured her REPEATEDLY that I’m not canceling, not replacing her with plans with my son (she was worried I’d rather just spend time with my four year old), and that I’m being honest about wanting her there. But she just keeps pushing back with “I wish you’d just be honest that you don’t want to see me.”, even when I literally tell her I do want to see her, she comes back with “I’m not getting my hopes up” basically fishing for me to say it again. It feels like she’s begging for validation over and over and won’t accept my words the first time. And this isn’t a thing where I’ve cancelled on her previously or anything, this is just something that happens randomly every so often. And it gets exhausting, but I try to be understanding about her anxiety. I’ve reached the point where I snapped and told her “Okay, don’t!!” when she said she wasn’t getting her hopes up. Because honestly, what more can I do/say? I’ve already reassured her, I’ve set a date, I’ve been honest, and I can’t keep repeating myself just to soothe her anxiety. AITAH for snapping on her like that?
