We're back with another AITA thread from Reddit where people come to explain situations and find out whether or not they are in the wrong about the particular situation or their response. If you don't know about this thread, it's super entertaining and helps us to see the situation from other people's perspectives.

Ultimately, it's a great way for people to come and get anonymous and unbiased opinions from people on the situation that happened. People typically love coming to Reddit for this reason and today we'll be diving into one of these threads.

This situation is about someone who comes to Reddit to explain a situation where their friend misunderstood a sound they made as a laugh, which made them think that they were laughing at their deceased dog. Now, situations like this happen often as things can be commonly misunderstood, however, this one is a bit different.

We wanted to dive into this and give this situation a little bit of love as it seems that OP is a bit stressed about it. So if you want to know more about what happened and what people had to say, then stay tuned and keep reading as we give the inside scoop on this situation.

The beginning of the story starts like this with a little preface of OP saying they did not at all laugh.

Then OP goes on to explain the situation and what exactly happened for their friend to react that way.

They go on to explain what happened sort of right after that situation.

Basically OP thinks they are TA, but they want to know everyone else's opinion.

Interesting saying, but I agree with the comment and the NTA.

People are really suggesting for OP to get new friends after this situation.

This is true too because some people just don't react to those types of conversations very well.

I agree with this as well. He doesn't really sound like a great friend just by that response alone.

Regardless of what the reasoning was, if OP says that they didn't laugh then they didn't laugh.

People then started commenting with some really great advice for OP.

It's as simple as that. They didn't laugh and that should've been enough for OP's friend to understand.

This person left a long and informative comment to OP that actually gained a response from them. Stay tuned for the later parts below.

This is where the comment continue on in explaining their emotions.

They went on to apologize and explain their response a little more.

In the end they just suggested to give the friend time to process their feelings.

After reading this post I think a lot of us might have been transported back to when we fought with a friend and it can be really heartbreaking especially if that's a close friend. However, there's only so much explaining you can do to someone before you have to just let them believe what they want to believe.

Do you think that OP should get new friends or do you think they should just give the friend some more time to process?
