OK so this is going to be a BIG vent.  I have a friend who has been acting in a very angry manner towards me the past two days.  Unfortunately he is not one of those people who is easy to confront about their behavior.  He in fact tends to avoids confrontation with me and another mutual friend. This morning at breakfast he was trying to control the way I eat.  I eat fast, I have always eaten fast, especially when I enjoy what I am eating and most especially when it is eggs and I don't want them to get cold.  He sat down and told me I ate too fast and that I needed to slow down.  I acknowledged that I do eat fast, I always have.  He told me I need to have a "yoga experience with my eggs and I told him I was fine with the way I ate.  He then told me I needed to chew my food 32 times and started to try to count how many times I chewed my food.  I told him if he started counting I would leave the table.  He tried to justify this behavior by saying now I know how he felt when I picked food off of his shirt or told him he had food on his face.  I told him that pointing out that someone had food on their face or clothing was just being courteous but trying to tell someone how to eat was controlling and that I was going to eat at another table.  It seems like this person is angry about something and rather than talking about prefers to be abusive and bullying.  What should I do?
