Wow.

So I do believe that my "friend" has stopped talking to me over a facebook wall post. Yes a facebook wall post. She said that I "called her out" on facbeook since I said "Hey I hope you're okay. Just to let you know we have our psych exam next Wednesday."
That is all I said. No more, no less. I had reminded her several times before that we have had quizzes due since she has been sick and has had to miss class frequently. Trying to send her a helpful reminder and knowing that she doesn't respond to my texts about psychology when she's not in class, I simply posted a reminder on her facebook. So much for trying to be helpful.
And she said that I "called her out." So now she's not coming to class, I didn't see her at the exam, and I know that she has already audited another class because she got into a fight with another friend. If she is going to audit/not show up for class because she's mad at someone then she's never going to graduate.
To look at this from a "psychological" point of view, I think she feels guilty for missing her classes. I know she has been sick, but to speculate, I am also aware that she has missed other classes because she was "hungry" or her "laptop died" so there was no point in going. To get mad at someone who is just sending a simple reminder points to feelings of guilt for not being in class in the first place.
Either that or she has already been upset with me for something else and just used this as an excuse to lash out, although I don't really understand what I did wrong.
Perhaps I'm looking at this from the wrong point of view, since in this situation I would be biased towards my own side of the story. I just don't see how reminding her about an exam was "calling her out." If I had intended on "calling her out", I would've said: "I'm calling you out because you haven't been in class and we have an exam next Wednesday. Be prepared."

I just don't understand.
