Have you ever said anything unintentionally to someone that hurt their feelings?

I've met some people at work before and became close to them, until I met this girl that went ballistic on me.

We were talking about colleges and where we went to, what we were studying, etc.
She brought up that she went to a Uni and ended up not finishing for some reasons and now she's in 40k$ debt with parents who don't want to help.

Then I told her my college story, that I studied and graduated. I also mentioned I didn't thankfully had debt because my parents paid my tuition in full. But I went to a 2 year college.

Well her and I aren't friends anymore because of our finances. Which is stupid because everyone was raised differently, I wasn't trying to brag but share my college story.

Sometimes you just can't control how people react.

What have you said or done that made someone react differently? Share please!! <3

When my next door neighbor shared with me that she'd left her matrimonial home because her husband cheated on her again I told her she went into this with her eyes wide open because he did the same thing before they got married. My mom says I was too hard on her

@karysma I don't see that as hard, you were being an honest and true friend to let her know what she was going to put herself through. Some people NEED a friend who just tells it like it is!

@SaraxKay Some people prefer to hear the sugar coated truth but it's just not in me to tell people what they want to hear. I also told her if she gets back with him there's a huge chance he'll do it again. She said she ain't going back till he compensates her family for hurting her (it's part of our culture) but I don't think it'll make a difference cause once a cheater, always a cheater

@karysma I agree on speaking up as a friend! Hopefully she'll find some peace soon. (You're still a great friend)

@SaraxKay Yeah I hope so too. What's worse is that she waited to have sex only for him to disrespect her the way he did
