(I'm female) My friend and I are really close, almost like sisters. She has the best personality, and is very kind. But when she is PMSing, or on her period, then she...gets on my nerves. She is: distant, cold, a bit uncaring. I don't want to talk to her at all during this time. I can't exactly avoid her---I sit next to her in most of my classes. * I know that I should be more considerate, and understanding. And I'am, on the "outside." I don't purposely make her angry, point out that she's on her period, etc. But emotionally, when she's on her period, I feel like yelling at her, because her calm, icy, cold attitude makes me so angry. * I know that I'm being selfish, and cruel. I don't need anyone else pointing these things out, because I already know how I seem in this situation. I just need to know how I can emotionally deal with my friend on her period, without lashing at her, or hurting her feelings in the future. **It's possible that I might have my period in a few days, with might be clouding my judgement...
Listen, some people you just have to give them their space. Let her know she's a bit emotional right now and you are just going to lean back for a minute. She may not like it but she will respect it and become conscious of her mood not only toward you but anyone she is around during that time of month. She does not have to let it control her.
