Hello, question asker!
I get the feeling you still value this relationship a lot. It's just that this way of getting along with each other is making things quite difficult for you, and sometimes you even feel quite aggrieved.
It's worth noting that any relationship, whether it's with your child, your parents, your siblings, or your best friend, is an intimate one. A truly long-lasting relationship requires care, attention, understanding, respect, and space.
But it often seems like your best friend is picking on you. You said you get along with him, but it feels like you're constantly on edge, waiting for things to blow up. It's exhausting. [Hug]
If this situation persists, it will undoubtedly have a negative impact on your emotional well-being and health. Furthermore, if it continues for an extended period, it will also negatively affect your relationship.
You might want to look for an opportunity to have a good, honest conversation with your friend about this.
You could say to your friend that you value your friendship with him a great deal. It's been going for more than ten years and is very precious to you. But this way of getting along with each other is really tiring for you.
If your friend is always inexplicably angry with you, you'll feel stressed and unsure of how to handle it. You can talk about it.
This kind of situation will happen between parents and children, and between couples. It's important to communicate your feelings to the other person.
If he values your feelings, he'll want to change. But if the other person doesn't value your feelings, the relationship will continue to suffer, and everyone will be miserable.
It might feel a bit awkward at first to bring up the issue, but if everyone is willing to change for each other, it can help keep the relationship healthy.
If you find my suggestions helpful, please feel free to refer to them.

I've been friends with her for over a decade, and it's been such a mixed journey. Initially, I was all in, doing everything she wanted because she seemed so nice. But things changed when she got upset over something and told me to leave. I didn't, stayed by her side, and that's when the little conflicts started. Like after class, she came to meet me while I was chatting with classmates, and without a word, she stormed off. There have been countless incidents like this. She criticizes me for everything from my clothes to how I eat or walk. It's exhausting. I tried correcting myself just to keep the peace, but it never satisfied her. Every time she thinks I'm speaking wrong, she gets mad and walks away, refusing to explain why. When I ask, she says I don't know, which is so frustrating. It feels like I'm walking on eggshells around her, not knowing what will set her off next.
It's tough dealing with someone who has such unpredictable moods. We've had good times, but her sudden outbursts are draining. She picks on everything I do, from my clothes to how I eat, even how I walk. I've tried adjusting, but nothing seems to please her. Sometimes, she'll get upset over something trivial, like me talking to classmates, and then storm off. When I try to understand why, she doesn't give me a straight answer. It's hard to maintain a relationship where you're always secondguessing yourself.
We've known each other for so long, and at first, I thought she was great. But now, it's like every little thing sets her off. She'll come up to me while I'm talking with others and just walk away angry without saying anything. She complains about everything from my clothes to my eating habits. I've tried changing, but it never satisfies her. She'll suddenly get mad and say I have a bad attitude, but it's only with her that I feel this way. It's exhausting trying to keep up with her mood swings.
This friendship has been a rollercoaster. At first, I did everything she wanted because she seemed so nice. But once she got upset and told me to go, I stayed by her side, and that's when the issues began. Little things like meeting up after class can turn into a big deal if she's not in the mood. She criticizes me for everything, from my clothes to how I eat or walk. I've tried to change to make her happy, but it never works. She'll throw a fit over the smallest things and refuse to talk about it. It's hard to be around someone who makes you feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells.
Knowing her for over ten years, I thought we were close. But now, it's like every interaction could lead to an argument. She'll come up to me while I'm talking with others and walk away upset without a word. She's critical of everything, from my clothes to my eating habits. I've tried adapting, but it never satisfies her. She'll get mad over small things and won't explain why. It's exhausting to be around someone who can turn on you unexpectedly, making you question everything you do.
