I 22F and my best friend 21F have been friends for a year and we met at my work a year ago and have been friends ever since she has a boyfriend that she's been with for a l few years now and they just moved in together and a few weeks ago we planed a beach trip for all three of us for a week and I've been super excited to go and even though it's not until June I've already ask for the time off and everything and I thought that we would be friends for life but I guess that I was wrong y see for a while I had a hunch that her boyfriend didn't like me for some reason I didn't know why it started but after he left are current job for another he started to not like me to much for one example a few weeks ago I came over to hang out with them and see there knew puppie they got and he was asleep the whole time but i didnt think much of but while I was there there new puppie who is a 3 or 4 month old German Shepard puppie was being very hiper and got a few good scratches on her and me and I know that she ask me to discipline her but the thing is they spank her pretty hard and the way they discipline her isn't really comfortable for me so I wasn't really disciplining her how they wanted me to and I can understand that they could be upset by that but I don't believe in physical discipline but I thought that they wouldn't really be to upset by that buf they next day she told me that he was very upset with me about the starches on her and told her to tell me that any there time I come over she's not allowed out of the crate and I was kind of upset but didn't really fight it I just excepted it but the really reason I came to reddit is because a few days ago I was at work with her and I was talking to her and I was telling her about a dog we have at are work that is very shy and that she's finally comfortable with me petting her and she was questioning me about how I was shure she was actually comfortable with me petting her or if she was actually just scared and I was forcing it and not giving her boundaries and I was saying that she wasnt showing me any signs and she then stared talking to like saying that how would I feel if someone came into my space and broke my boundaries and stuff like that and I felt my self getting annoyed and I stopped talking and I guess I didn't hear her calling my name and I guess I made her mad and she kind of just ignored me for a little while and yesterday witch is a few days after the incident she texted me that she was very upset about what happend and that she didn't appreciate me I guess ignoring her because she thought that I was ignoring her and she was calling my name but I really did not hear her you see how we're going to doggie daycare and it can get very loud so I couldn't hear her and she was saying that communication is a big thing for her and if I couldn't communicate with her then she didn't think that we could hang out anymore and I texted her back saying how growing up I was complete opposite than her she grew up in a very communicative family and I was complete opposite and my family communication doesn't exist and anytime I try to talk about my feelings or anything like that I'm shut down or ganged up on so I learned to keep my feelings to myself and haven't really been good at communicating and I expressed that to her instead of acknowledging it she said that I was no longer invited to the beach trip and that we shouldn't hang out anymore until I learned how to communicate and that if she had known about my communicative problems she wouldn't have invited me or planned a beach trip in the first place so I guess my only question is am I really the AITA for not communicating with her.
