    I always want attention. If I don't, I'll go somewhere where you can't find me. I'm not the cool off in silence type. Just give me attention.

    My 8 year old acts like this.

    I also like eating Doritos for dinner so I imagine we would get along famously.

    Seems like a MFP online relationship...

    Leave me alone = overbearing. Give her her space.

    And people wonder why they don't get what they want. SMDH.

    Please... don't let her represent women everywhere. I have never and will never play such games with a man. Or in any relationship with SO or just friends. Cause this is complete bullsh*t.

    I bet you get spankings for bad behavior too, right?

    She didn't say "fine". She said "leave me alone". In that case, you leave her alone; you stand by until she cools off enough to discuss what is bothering her.

    The same with "fine". It either means she is too upset to talk about it (which is good because she will calm down and you can talk later) OR she doesn't think you have grasped the full extent to which you f*cked up, and anything you say will not be taken as an apology or corrective action for what you did but rather a way to appease her to make her happy at that moment. And nothing is going to piss her off more than you trying to make her feel better at that moment without dealing with the issue that got her in that state to begin with. If you don't think you did anything wrong, or at least can't see how SHE thinks you did anything wrong, you are only going to dig your hole deeper and deeper with every action and every word. Her "FINE" is a warning to you to put down your shovel and think about it before you continue.

    THIS is the truth---and here I thought men didn't understand women.

    GUYS don't understand women. MEN understand them perfectly. The hard part is knowing the difference.

    Ah of course, because everyone else in the world acts completely rationally when they're angry. I'm sure you have a fantastic checklist of all of the mature and thoughtful ways you'd like to express yourself when you're fighting with someone but sometimes logic and levelheadedness go out the window when you're emotional. I hope I can one day get on your level!

    Not all women act the same way, we're not built the same, our hormones can be way off which throw us into a tail spin, there's so many factors that come into play. If the girl said leave me alone it's best to just leave her alone and say you'll be there for her when she's ready. If she says leave me alone and then flips out when you leave her alone, then there's a serious confidence issue on her end; ie: she just wants attention or constantly needs validation.

    Well, no wonder people look at me like I'm crazy when I just say what I'm thinking. I've been doing it wrong!

    Bad behavior, good behavior.. I've already established that I only have one desired response to most situations.

    I get this... I have been that irrationally angry... but I'm the type to just shut down and not say anything because I don't want to say something I can't take back.

    I think @ald783 deserves a lot of credit for being honest. I wonder about how many of the women who say 'yeah I call it like I see it' and 'I'll say what I mean and mean what I say' are actually a tad bit more complicated than that in reality.

    I posted (in behave of my friend :# ) to have a conversation. So all viewpoints are welcome.

    If 'girl logic' wasn't a real thing 99% of hollywood romantic comedies would make no money at all.
    I appreciate everybody's input I just think @ald783 is catching more heat than necessary and no she is not the ex-girlfriend lol

    I am the queen of, "Leave me alone." Usually means just as I said....Leave me alone....but not forever. Come back in 10 mins and show me you care *kitten* hat! :p Come on...we're not that complicated.

    Well, we're all different in this aspect too. When I'm irrationally angry, I still say exactly what I'm thinking. The only difference is that I no longer filter those thoughts to keep them from being offensive and vulgar.
