It dawned on me that I never really explained why I needed to stop talking to you for a while. It's kind of silly, really.
She read our conversations and told you it seemed like you were contributing...almost as if you felt like I did. You assured her that you just "didn't want to be a dick" by not responding. You probably didn't mean it. Maybe you did. Next time, if that's how you feel, I'd rather you not answer me.
I'm not sure why "yeah I responded, because we're friends" wouldn't have been a reasonable response to her questioning.
Anyway, it's not a big deal, and it's in the past now. I just think about it once in a while and it makes me feel a little shitty. I'm sure you understand.

I understand.
I've had this problem my whole life. I try to say what I'm thinking without realizing how else it could be interpreted. So when I say, "I don't want to be a dick." and I really mean, "because we're friends." no one knows but me because by the time I realize what they took from my statement, it's too late.
If I were an orator I'd be terrible, luckily they let you proofread writing.
