If they know that you can say hurtfull things and not really mean it, then perhaps they will overlook that when it happens. Perhaps they will take your words, and look at how you are behaving and say "Ok, she's not herself today", and then see how you are tomorrow.

You must have better *friends* than I do. Mine are just sick of me and my being BP and all that goes along with it (funny, I'm sick of it too). They expect me to be no different than they are. Where's the understanding in that? I *wish* I could be the same as them. It's as if they think I like being this way. Yea, right!!! :(
