How do you learn to trust someone after they get "emotional"?

It's mostly women I have this problem with, platonic or otherwise. I do something they don't like, then they fly off the handle, and then suddenly we're friends again like nothing happened? I'm sitting here scratching my head like "what the actual f***?!?!"

I try to keep my distance so I can process, but then they try to fix it and then as soon as I let my guard down it happens all over again. Any advice?

“I do something they don’t like” maybe look here rather than complaining about the reaction try to address the cause

@Onryo me doing a job I was specifically assigned to do, in the most recent case

@GohantheThird What's the job and who's assigning it?

@BlueVeins a gig I'm singing in. Someone missed their cue and since I'm that persons understudy I sang the line they missed. The emotional one saw me cover for her and totally flipped out on both me and the person I was covering for. No one was at fault and the audience didn't seem to notice since we were off stage, so flipping out was completely inappropriate.

@GohantheThird who was the emotional one?

GohantheThird · M

@BlueVeins not the person who missed their cue.

@GohantheThird you already said that

@BlueVeins more them than me, but I'm seeing your point.
