I missed a call from one of my best friends, who ive been really missing lately as I havent seen her in a while. I called back about half an hour later thinking it was maybe her wanting to catch up. After a "hi, how are you", she told me that she had scabies. I without even thinking let out a low key "ew". Immediately felt my stomach sink knowing that was not an appropriate reaction. I apologised straight away but the damage was understandably done. We talked for a minute or two about what the treatment is, and then she was like yeah im gonna go now and just hung up.
I sent a follow up text a minute later, apologising again and saying while it took me by surprise that there was no excuse for my reaction. She responded saying shes really hurt and expected better from someone supposed to be one of her best friends.
Ive followed up asking if theres anything I can do to help the situation. Ill leave it that for now, as I imagine she probably doesnt want to speak to me.
I feel sick. I had been feeling a bit hurt prior by the length of time we hadnt seen each other but thats now moot.
TLDR: Friend phoned to tell me she had scabies. I spur of the moment reacted badly. Friend is understandably hurt.
