Hey there it's 12.30am here and I can't sleep coz I'm feeling really very happy . Actually the story goes over some days ago. I had hurt one of my friend's feelings but was totally unaware of it =( Later I came to know about it and I was ready to apologize but then these doubts came to my mind of whether she'd accept it or get more mad at me. I got confused and because of which I hadn't said anything to her. But today I just decided on doing it, regardless of how she'd react, coz I felt I owed her an apology, so i did. To my surprise she didn't get mad or whatever I'm really so relieved that I didn't lose a friend. It is a big relieve when your apology gets accepted right?? I request you to share your experience if you have any

instances are quite many. It happens. We feel angry. We lost our ability to reason out. We show anger. Later we repent. We apologise. It happens. We think we are right on most of the occasions and that is the reason for this behavior. But not always are we right from other's angle. good u are feeling happy. with this happiness go to sleep. have sweet dreams

I think a lot of times people worry about what other people will think about things and usually those fears are unfounded. While it is possible the person will be upset, if there is something that is bothering you, it should be communicated. Most of the time the fear is all in your head and the other person probably is wondering why you aren't talking to them. I'm glad this situation worked out for you.

Try to think positively and if you know that you made a mistake, always try to set it straight. If you feel bad about something then you should talk to the person about it. It will make you feel better and it will help you to sleep better I bet. Have a great day!!!

Thanks :) And yeah I seem to be thinking about all the negative possibilities that could happen instead of focusing on how precious a friend she is to me. I'll not repeat it again and from now on apologize whenever I know I made a mistake :)

Of course it feels great when you don't lose a friend. and it feels more good when you ask apology and it gets accepted. I did have many experience about that. Especially to my best friend! She think I'm flirting with her boyfriend which I'm not. I'm just getting close to his bf because I wanted to spy the guy for her, because I'm getting so suspicious about this guy because I doubt that my best friend is his only girlfriend. Very unbelievable to me. and I find out, he has a lot of girlfriends in times that he and my bestfriend is still together. I explained it all to my best friend. I ask apology even though I did not do anything wrong, but still I ask for spying his boyfriend without her consent. She accepted it, and she even thank me for what I did!

Hello, I have the same experiece as you. What I conclude from the past experieces is that communication is really important, and we must not hestitate to make apologies to someone that we care about. Most of the time, it will pay off.

Yes, communication is very important. I also have learned that keeping things in heart will take one nowhere, so we have to speak out our mind. Thanks for the response

i had this friend before, we were super close, we'd do everything together. we'd go places and have fun. we were friends through and through. but due to some other nosy, irritable, mean, monster colleague, this close friend and i parted ways, we drifted away from each other. it was hard to reconcile. it took us 6 months trying not to notice one another. we are working in the same place but there is a hidden wall between the two of us. neither one of us wanted to bend our emotions and talk things out. the feeling was awful. she was resigning. and she sent me a message if i was willing to talk to her for the last time. i said, yes. why not? maybe it would clear some issues. again it was awkward speaking to her after 6 long months of non-communication. we cleared the issues, we apologized. and no matter how we wanted or tried to bring back the close friendship we shared before, it was already too late.

Isn't it annoying, two super close people drifting apart because of some not-so-important-people!! I really hate it when that happens. I don't know why they are so jealous of two people's friendship!! They can just come and join, why in the world do they have to make them go different ways. Seriously they get on my nerves!!

From what you have typed,I get some good points.First of all,you must be a person who is responsible for what you have done.Second,to your friends,you put them in you heart,when you find you have hurt one of them because of your carelessness,you will feel worried and sorry. Third,from the afair itself,I learn something from you.When we find there's something wrong between our friends and us,acting positively is much better to strengthen the friendship.Sometimes,our friends will not care about what mistakes we have made at all.However, we should tell them we are sorry.Fourth,it makes relieved to tell our real feelings in time after we do something wrong.

It is a relief to have an apology accepted. Giving an apology is sometimes very hard to do, especially if you aren't sure if you should or what you did. It is also a big relief to have your friendship back without that awkwardness.

Hi Thatgirl13, Most of the time, we did not even try to put what we like to do on action and we just let our imagination go wild, and most of the time what actually happen is not as serious as what we think. So, when you actually apologize to your friend and she actually not really mad at you but just that yourself have think too much. That is really normal to a normal people like us. I did have many time that I really afraid to do something but when I went and try it, it is actually not as bad as I thought. Of course, like you I feel relieved after that.

HI thatgirl I can see your happiness in making amends with your friend. It is not an easy thing to do, to apologize for wrong doings. Apparently she is a very good friend as she can understand that you are human and we all make mistakes. Therefore, this is a great thing between the two of you. I have had instances like this while I was younger where my mouth moved faster then my brain. I too had regrets later. , I can't say I re-gained friends all the time, but have learned from those experiences on how to be very careful while addressing my dear friends because sadly I do value friendships so am always cautious not that I am older. I do hope you are tucked in bed now.

Hi thatgirl, This most often happens with me also as i always say something bad to friend but actually realize it after sometime that i have said something wrong for which should say sorry to him/her.It really does not matter to apologize if you are wrong.I think this is the best solution to do the things normal because i know its difficult to make friends but easy to loose them.

Yeah the last line you said is so true. I can't afford to loose her. She is one of my true friends but yeah at times I can be stupid =(
