Dear MC-Market,
I have been walking around with a weird feeling the past few days.
Me and my friends went chilling at a friends house (within the local rules of corona) and we had drunk a couple beers. It was around 3 AM, when we decided to go outside, just to chill a bit.
The group started getting a little louder, and the host told us to be a bit quiet, so the neighbours wouldn't wake up.
All good and well, but the boys started getting a little louder again.
I told a friend of mine to be quiet, to which he responded that I should do something about it.
I felt like he was challenging me for the past few days, but the guy is way smaller then me - so before I didn't make anything of it.
In that moment everything went to my head, and I snapped, attacking my friend and pushing him back to the wall. When I realised I had gone too far, I snapped out of the moment, and saw how he got red and I saw in his eyes that he was afraid.
I looked at him, and just smiled for a moment, before turning around and sitting with the other friends again.
He went inside, smashed the door of the house, and didn't return for some time.
Some guys told me he deserved it, some told me I had been to rough with him.
When I went in to check, he asked me why I did it - and I couldn't really explain it to him.
When I asked him if he was okay, he told me he was fine. However, he looked like he was really affected.
When we left he never said anything about it afterwards - neither did I.
We talked to each other afterwards, and even played games together, and he was very friendly to me. It seemed like he had forgiven me already.
However, I started feeling weird, as the guy is no match for me, and this just was not necessary at all.
And.. after all.. he is my friend.
How would you deal with a situation like this?
