My friend said “I was upset for a stupid reason which lead me to get overwhelmed

So when I cry I can't properly talk
Then when I did calm myself down
He's gonna say what if I call your dad and told him about this situation
I was frustrated cause I couldn't find some stupid rice
Which led me to cry
And the whole time I sat down crying he kept trying to talk to me
Then he said the only problem the world have today is lack of communication
And then brings up my brother as an example
Saying the only reason he was against me and my cousin was because "we didn't talk to him"
When I TOLD HIM MANY TIMES. His gf did and I confirm said that she felt like she was letting cheated I couldn't say anything again so that led me to another breakdown Couldn't go to my room cause I have to help him look some dumb egg rolls
So now all I'm worrying about is him calling my dad because the way I cried in the kitchen today
And that I treated him bad
That's all I have to say From this situation“

Hey [Friend's Name],

I just want to say that I really appreciate you sharing what's been going on. It sounds like you had a really tough day, and it's completely okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes—even if it seems like a small reason on the surface. Emotions can be complicated, and crying is a natural response to stress.

I can understand why you would feel frustrated with how things unfolded. It can be really tough when you feel like you’re not being heard, especially when you’ve tried to communicate your feelings already. It’s unfortunate that your friend brought up your brother in that moment; it sounds like he wasn’t fully grasping how you were feeling.

And please remember, just because you had a breakdown doesn’t mean you treated him badly—it means you were dealing with a lot. Everyone has those moments where we struggle to express ourselves, especially when emotions run high.

As for your worries about him calling your dad, I really hope he doesn’t put you in that position. It might help to talk to him about how discussing personal feelings with your dad might make you feel even more anxious.

Take some time for yourself, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to chat more about this or anything else that’s on your mind. You’re not alone in this, and it’s okay to take a step back and focus on you.

Sending you lots of love and support.

Take care,
[Your Name]

Hey [Friend's Name],

Thanks for sharing what you’re going through. It sounds like a really overwhelming situation, and it's totally okay to feel upset, even if it seems minor to others. Emotions can be tough to handle, especially when you feel like you’re not being heard.

I get why you'd be frustrated with your friend bringing up your brother, especially when you’ve tried to communicate already. Don't worry too much about him calling your dad; that’s a lot of pressure to put on you.

If you want to talk more or need some support, I'm here for you. Take care of yourself!

Best,

Stop writing it like a letter, just write it like ur writing a text (+ it’s not his friend, it’s his uncle)

That sounds really rough. It’s completely normal to get overwhelmed by small things sometimes. Crying doesn’t mean you treated him badly; it just shows you were feeling a lot. I can see why you’d be frustrated with him bringing up your brother, especially when you’ve tried to explain your side.

I wouldn’t stress too much about him calling your dad either. Just focus on calming down and taking care of yourself. If you need to talk, I’m here for you.
