    The worst part about this whole thing is that the more remorse you feel and the more you love the person you hurt, the more days feel like weeks without being able to make amends because the wounds need a vast amount of time to heal...

      Still be kind and caring, if you do the contrary you'll only prove that any problem and/or situation, however small, is reason enough for you to ditch a relationship because it has to be perfect.
      If after a while this other person keeps being toxic or negativity, then you can let go, because it now stands the other person doesn't want to fix problems and will drag conflicts further. You may leave that friendship behind, but you earn your valor for being the good person all along.

I hadn't realized the damage I had done until I pushed it too far. I really want to win them back and change myself for the good and treat them how they really deserve...

      @Ивана Јокић auctually , we’re not friends anymore now. Our friendship was very toxic and she was a narcissist. I was a doormat , and when I would confront her about how she would treat me she would project her character flaws on me. It took awhile for me to see but when I made this comment I was auctually just sucking up to her and very naive. I had believed I was wrong when auctually she was. Ending that friendship was the overall best decision I could’ve made and I’m much happier. ❤️

    I recently got dumped by my best friend. Although we were not from the same age group and family status (she has 2 kids while I recently got married) we were very close. She is my colleague and I see her in the office every day. It's very difficult for me to see her giggling with another colleague and I feel angry every time I see them
    She never told me why she decided to block me from her social accounts and everytime I would pass by her desk, she would not look or talk to me. I feel awful and don't know what to do. I sometimes feel like returning her the small gifts she has given me and a thank you card for being a great friend and tell her that her friendship was really the best thing I had. However i also want to tell her thank you for dumping me and hurting me. Can I do that?

    • @ultrabidoof
      @ultrabidoof 5 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Don't return the gifts, sounds silly but even if the friendship died, at the moment it was genuine and for that reason the gift has it's value. And positive, do write a letter to her, but don't deliver it, she doesn't deserve that attention no longer. Instead, burn it in a fire as a sign of moving on and trust me, there are still people that value you that do deserve your investment. Much luck :)

    Haunted by the age old questions can exes be friends. My ex and I were friends years before we dated. It’s been over a year since the breakup. In a way I don’t care about the rel but I do miss my friend and care about how she’s doing. It was a split on good terms. I wish we could be friends again. I think if you still care about a person after all this time that they must be important.

    Ouch it hurts how quickly friendships can be canceled these days. Recently I just had two friends cut me off out of the blue. They are already best friends and I was the third. When we talked after two months I was shocked by what they said. It felt like high school. No matter my saying I’m sorry they seemed committed to painting me as the villain. My takeaway is how I really need to be more discerning in who I open up to.. 🙏🏽

    Ive been friends with this girl for 10 years and best friends for 3 years and are relationship seemed to be really good. All of a sudden she ditched me and our whole friend group because she wanted new friends. The worse part is she's leaving me for someone she promised she would never leave or replace me with. She got people involved that didn't need to be and made the situation worse. I never wanted to stop being friends but she did. I miss my best friend and want to fix things but I don't know if she is willing to do it. She really hurt me and my friends but she's means so much to me.

Try and make things right with her, and if she refuses, then u know that she doesn't value your friendship. U don't need people like her in your life. Mistakes only become mistakes when they are repeated. So learn from them. Be smarter than her, and be kind bc you will never regret being kind. 2 wrongs don't make a right!! Good Luck Maya ❤️

    I don't even know how to approach mending my broken friendship. I apologized to everyone involved multiple times for the damage my needy, clingy, depressed, habits caused. I told them I was seeking counseling and I am starting some deep inner healing counseling. Not only was my apology rejected but I was belittled for my choice to seek counseling so I can heal enough to treat my friends better.
    This from the same beloved sister in the Lord that just a month before drove through tornado warning weather to meet me at the airport when met in person. The same person who had spoken praises over the blessing my friendship was on that visit. In the blink of an eye she lost all patience with me and responded with hate. I tried mailing her a card for her birthday and it came back refused, return to sender.
    At this point all I can do is work on the inner healing I need to be the person God meant for me to be instead of this fractured mess. Giving my buddy space is the hardest thing I have ever done. The loss of my dearest friend and sister, the hate she expressed to me, it's agonizing. It feels like I won't ever have anything to live for again.
    Every day is just coping with daily needs. There is nothing that gives me joy. Every memory, all the things that used to make me smile send me sobbing from loss. It feels like I lost not only my best friends but the best parts of who I was. I don't know who I am underneath the pain.

      @@ando1135 I am so sorry to hear you are going through that. Experience has taught that when someone is past being able to handle my anxiety ridden self, it's best to give them some space. Any intereaction while they are still overwhelmed will be a negative experience for them. That is why I am trying to just focus on healing the anxiety while I give my friend space. It's so difficult when that friend was a huge part of your life but not everyone can handle the ups and downs of our moods. And while their friendship is positive for us it is draining for them. We just need to focus on healing ourselves and hope that as we get better maybe some of those special to our hearts can learn to trust our friendships again.

She sounds like the classic narcissist, after your argument she was extremely worried on how others would react so she made you the villain. Look up the symptoms of a narcissist and I bet you she'll match up. Trust me you don't need that toxicity in your life no manner the good memories you have together. Remember the good but also the bad, make new friends and report her to the police because that's called physical asult and harassment.

Now it’s been months I got over her although we see each other at uni but I now see her everyday and it’s so heartbreaking especially because it’s our last year at uni. I feel bad because I miss her, the feeling of not seeing her again is awful. Instead of focusing on my exams I keep thinking about the times we had at that same time of the year last year and cry. I know I can’t contact her or talk to her because she told me to avoid doing that and made it clear that she doesn’t want me in her life, also the message my friend sent her was so harsh.

    What about repairing a friendship when you are the one considering 'breaking it off'?
    And when do you think it is appropriate to 'break up?'
    If you are going forward with breaking up, what is the best way to do that?

      I'm right here now too- I don't want the friendship to end, but I also don't want it to be the way it was. In my case- it began to feel very one sided- with me doing for her X, Y, Z - and while I love to do things for friends, there comes a point where there still needs to be a balance. I had a very difficult summer- and really reached out - trying to be explicit that I could really use some friendship time with her- to help me through this rocky point. She was unable to be there for me -- and when I finally brought it up as to why I began to pull away- she did "apologize," but as the video said- she "defended" herself too. She said she was having her own "demons" and therefore, couldn't find even 1 day or a few hours to be there for me. (I wish I could show her this video - without it coming off wrong).

    Thanks for posting this I had a former colleague/ friend that was giving me mixed signals/ mind games pretending that he wanted to get a divorce but he didn't. I take responsibility for allowing myself to become emotionally attached to a married guy ( we were NEVER intimate). But at the same token real friends don't play games with your feelings or mind games. In retrospect he was never really a friend & I stopped interacting with him over 2 years ago.

    5 years ago I made a huge mistake and ended a friendship with a friend who I was friends with for 17 years. 5 years ago I apologised to her and she said she’s moved on with her life. I have recently ran into her in a supermarket and she looked at me for a second and then walked away and avoided me totally. I didn’t try chasing her or talking to her. I think she’s still not forgiven me.

And i want to apologise to her but i said it in a disgraceful rude way that hurt her feelings. She told me we are only work friends and cant be close anymore, not even friendly hugs or hang out at lunch. Only work friendship. I need some answers if its worth it. I really want to be friends with her even if she has someone for 15 years. Shes a lesbian no hating on them but I fell for her as a straight guy. I just dont want my friendship to end with her because of what ive done to her.

    I have a situation at work that is sort of complicated.

So for the last 4 years it has been I would hear from him birthdays , holidays and a few other times a year. When we run into each other at work we both stop and stare for a moment and then keep going. He spoke to me once it was just a hi how are you but that's it. Now it's back to stop and stare. I don't know what to think I would have loved to stay friends but he didn't want to do that. I only run into him a couple times a week. It has made me want to stay clear of that side of the building. and that is impossible. I would love to just be able to do hi how are you or good morning or have a good evening. It would just be less awkward for both of us I suspect. Anyway, that's my story.

      Look.
      What I did... It was wrong.
      I Pulled you in to far and stressed you out.
      I was needy.
      I expected you to do way to much
      I didn't show any trust
      I let the past control me
      and in trying to Keep us together,.. I am the one who ripped us apart
      I Lied. I never saw you as my best friend, but as my older sister. I wanted to keep you happy and be by your side both when you were excited and sad, to be someone you could count on. I took things to literal, and I am stupid for doing so. I Apologize for smothering you and putting all my gametime to you. I wanted to show you mattered to me and I did that wrong. I know that now.
      So I Decided to give you space to allow you to breath. to think. to remember. to know whether or not giving me..no. giving us another chance is worth it. and so I can work on becoming the Best friend that you deserve, rather than the horrible friend I have been.
      If you need help then let me prove..no, show you I'm better now! I have gone through therapy (Online, and have worked on my self.. truth is I still am and look (Name).. you changed my life for the better. I want to return the favor. I want to be the light you were to myself. someone you can count on, and Care for, but not the only person.
      That was a flaw in my thinking back then:
      wanting to be THE one you would come to in times of need, rather than just being there with open arms whenever needed.
      that is not me anymore. I am a better person now, but don't just listen, Let me show show you I am Different!
      I don't want us to hide and forget about what happened. I want to learn to be better to and for you. but I cannot do this on my own. a newly Hatched bird needs encouragement to learn how to fly.
      I need you to guide me in the unlikely case I derail. I need you to want us again as well.
      how can I Make amends?
      Love: ye old Pal, (My Name)
      I Just want us to both be happy together again
