There are a lot of ways that one can use to detect whether a person is annoyed. Perhaps you can start by looking at the person's facial expression. Facial expression which is the non verbal message can be used to tell people a lot of things. Most people cannot hide their feelings by controlling their facial expression. Besides that, you can examine the tone, length and pace a person speaks. These can all be clues to what the person feel about you or your relationship.

Your friend may have something troubling her and you may have called at a bad time for her. Be a friend and call her back, Tell her you felt your last conversation was a little strained. ask if there is a problem, she may need to talk to someone, but may not know how to start the conversation. Let her know you are there for her. We can't make people be our friends, but we can act as such and give them the opportunity to be our friends. Good Luck.

If she is sounding low then there must be a reason behind this. This has happened even to me. I had a friend who was always very excited and always in a jovial mode , making fun and all that stuff, but later on he wasnt talking much and seriouls most of the time. Initially i thought he was annoyed by me, but he had some other reason for this. He actually didnt want to talk so i left him alone for some time to cope up. So here is a piece of advise for ya. Never presume that her annoyness has got something to do with your behaviour. Try to talk her out and if she doesnt dont force her. Leave her alone for a while and ask her to call up when ever is she feels..this can help a lot

If you know here well enough to know what the change in her inflection means, don't you know her well enough to ask her if she is annoyed with you? If you haven't seen her in awhile, I bet her annoyance had nothing to do with you.
