gingenap Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 I was just kind of mean to a friend of mine because we havent talked much lately and it seems like we're fading. Im not a sensitive person, so I didnt tell him this of course. Instead, I told him, after he told me that he had to go AGAIN, that he annoyed me and I hated him (I usually say I hate everybody). He of course hung up on me and I have yet to call him back. He has had to apologize to me many times over lesser things. I was wondering if maybe I should apologize or just wait for him to get over it and call. I think that would make me seem weak though cause hes always been the one that called me back after a fight even if it was my fault. What should I do?
jenny Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 apologize when you are wrong. this is the strongest thing that any person can do in his or her daily life.
gingenap Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 What would I say? How would I say it without being cheesy?
jenny Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 "look, i need to talk to you. i have thought about my words and i think i was incorrect and hasty. no excuses: i was wrong and i'm sorry. your friendship means a lot to me; i'd like to work on it; and it is important i am accountable for my actions. let me take you to lunch on friday; we need to spend some time together if we are going to remain good friends." straight-up and elegant, luv. it's very cool of you to be able to do this; most people cannot. go for it if you want to be a good person, and keep a good friend.
Vivid_29 Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 I don't think anyone likes to apologize, even when we're wrong. It makes me feel all funny inside. But sometimes, you have to swallow your pride and do what's right. ~V
