Well, you can apologize and kindly explain your perspective on things. Express that it wasn't your intention to do so, just that your a little nervous so you behaved unintentionally a certain way that could be perceived by others as 'rude'.

Clarify exactly what you were talking about and add politeness with a pleasant demeanor so the person understands the meaning of the topic. The opposite of being rude is being polite and also often respectfulness.

I feel like this all the time, but sometimes it's called tough love. Maybe asking them if you appeared rude would help you sort this, people are often much more honest to direct questions

Inform them that your wording my have been wrong and maybe let them know that you hope you didn't come off as rude.

If your intentions are in the right place you don't get as affected by what someone else thinks of you.

Tell them: "I'm sorry that I came across as rude; it was not my intention. I'm sorry if I offended you." This should help them. As long as you're civilised, they should be ok with you.

Clarifying things with them should make it clear to both parties. Avoid misunderstanding then go on.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
