People you regard as 'close' should take things at 'face value'; not need some form of "proof"
Friends and family like that you'll never need an enemy.
I just don't talk to people of that sort - no exceptions. Thankfully in my life that wasn't many people.
Try to make your epicycles of interaction and activity be as smooth as possible and don't ever talk to the source of the problems.
You can only control you, get rid of the % that keeps you from being 100%.
I know at times situations make this hard, I know first hand I did it. Moreover Im the better for it, no matter how hard it was.
