Dear Jasmine,
I have a good friend who loves to gossip about everything and anything. Often times I try not telling her things because I don’t want it to get spread around. Last week I was planning a surprise party for one of my friends and I didn’t tell her because I was scared she would spill the beans on it.
Well she found out when she came over to my house and notice some of my party planning list. She got really offend because she thought I wasn’t going to invite her to the party and left my house in a big hurry. I was going to invite her but I wasn’t planning on telling her until later on.
Now she won’t pick up my calls or return my messages. I think she is being a little bit irrational about the whole thing and I just want to talk to her but she refuses to call me back.

Dear Glena,
I think that you should send your friend an email or voice message explaining to her the situation. Let her know you were still in the planning process and you haven’t gotten around to tell her because you know she loves to gossip. I know that if you say that she may be mad at that but she has to accept the fact that she loves to gossip and that is something she needs to work on.
Give her some time to get over it and hopefully she will read and understand what you are trying to say. Hopefully she will come to her senses and not throw away your friendship over something like this.
Always here,
Jasmine
