I loved going to a festival with my friend but she hated being with me
DEAR DEIDRE: I REALLY enjoyed going to a festival with my friend but it turns out she hated being with me.
We are both 17 and planning to go to the same university next year.

I’m not big into social media but another mate showed me some tweets from my festival friend’s account saying, “Who’s up for the Reading Festival 2020? I want to go with somebody I can have FUN with.”
I’m not a big drinker and these tweets were obviously directed at me – she thought I wouldn’t see them because I’m not on Twitter.
I feel I’ve always been there for her. I don’t know whether to talk to her about it and apologise.
DEIDRE SAYS: You don’t need to apologise but you could call her out on it and perhaps you will get an apology.
In a quiet moment tell her you’ve seen the tweets and you’re feeling upset and you want to clear the air.
Suggest that a group of you go next time and any tension will be diluted. My e-leaflet on Asserting Yourself will help.
