@BlatzAdict: Hello friend. Regarding your original post, when you were talking about how friends feel like you are "mistreating" them in some ways when you are having a discussion. What i learned from self experience is... Let people speak. 90% of the people on this earth will interrupt another person in the middle of his talk. I try hard (and succeed to some extent) to not be one of those people. I let the people infront of me to express their opinion. Ususally a person will have only this much to say and when he's "out of words" you can come in and tell him what you think. Ofcourse, some people will never stop speaking no matter what, so i kindly ask them, after letting them talk for a while, "Can i say something now?" It always works. I dont know if this is relevant to this thread but i think it is.
What im trying to say is the way people handle a conversation is almost always wrong. People will uncounciously and conciously admire the person who "runs" the conversations. Some people have the need to run every conversation they are involved with. This need ususally comes from psychological issues i'd call them, like inferiority complex etc.
We all must learn acceptance towards our other-selves. We all have a feeling that if we dont express ourselves its considered as a loss. I think this is a STS way of thought.
A few years ago, i started noticing how alot of people around me will always start a sentence with "No, but...". I decided to start sentences with "Yes, and..." or "Yes, but...".
I think that your friend might be getting these feelings of everything she says is wrong, because of alot of small things like "No, but...".
i hope this helps.
