She Conducted An “Experiment” And Didn’t Reach Out To Her Friend After They Got Into An Argument To See What Would Happen, But After Her Friend Found Out, She Got Accused of Being “Sick” And “Crazy”
A couple of months ago, this woman and her friend got into an argument. Yet, just a few days afterward, her friend reached out and asked if she could babysit their child.
She did oblige and helped her friend out despite their differences. Even so, her friend went “radio silent” afterward and practically ghosted their friendship.
“This friend usually calls me all the time. But ever since the argument, things have completely changed,” she said.
To be clear, they haven’t been “actively” fighting since her friend asked for some babysitting help. Instead, it just became clear that their relationship transitioned. They no longer felt like close friends but rather just acquaintances.
That’s why she eventually decided to conduct an “experiment.” More specifically, she decided not to reach out to her friend at all or try to mend their relationship.
Her plan was to see how the situation would play out without her interfering.
“I wanted to see how I would feel without having them in my life, and I was curious to see how long this would go for,” she reasoned.
Well, her friend only reached out to her pretty recently to talk about their relationship. At that point, they claimed they hadn’t tried to contact her because they were still upset.
Her friend also asked why she didn’t try to initiate a conversation, and she just decided to be honest about her little plan.

“I told them it was a mental experiment,” she revealed.
If you couldn’t have guessed, her friend wasn’t thrilled to find out about her experiment and became upset all over again. In fact, her friend actually accused her of being “sick” and needing therapy. They also claimed that she shouldn’t just stop talking to people as an experiment because it’s “crazy” and not valid.
But, according to her, this is just how she operates.
“This is something I do with any relationship, excluding familial and professional, of course,” she vented.
Regardless, with her friend now so angry at her, she’s unsure if not talking to her friend as an experiment was really an insane thing to do.
Have you ever conducted a similar “experiment” after getting into an argument with a friend or loved one? Was she obligated to be the first person to reach out after their fight? Do you think she had a right to see how the situation would play out on its own, or was she in the wrong for playing games?
