It really depends on whether the comment is correct or not. No, I’m not suggesting you’ve been nothing but trouble… but perhaps he is upset that you’ve done something quite wrong. -IF- you have done something wrong, I’d work on that… and try to fix it. On the other hand, if he just spoke out of anger (which is possible), I’d let some time pass and follow up. People will say a variety of things to you… some supportive and some the opposite. Sometimes you need to treat what’s said as constructive criticism.. while other stuff can be overlooked.
Could you clarify? What’s your relationship with that person? Was it a threat? What are the consequences? Is the person threatening to throw you out on the street or what?
yah know, sometimes when you believe someone to be dead serious they may actually be joking. or just plain lying. My ex told me he’d burn my gift if I gave him anything for his b-day in september and he said it in a serious tone and there was no hint of sarcasm or joking in his features. I called him later and he said he was joking, but I still broke up with him, because that isn’t something you joke about. You need to talk to your family member and have them clarify.
