Old friend gone bad


Question Posted Thursday June 30 2005, 2:59 pm

I used to be really close to this guy, but then we went through this misunderstanding where he thought i had said something that i didnt, and now he hates me. i tried making things right with him, and i even had a friend ask him what was going on. he said that he was sorry for making me feel bad but didnt want to be friends with me or aquainted with me at all. what should i do?

I'd just.. leave him alone. I know that will be sad.. but obviously if he doesn't want to be friend or aqquainted with you at all.. then there seems to be no solution.. don't push it on him...he's making his point pretty clear.. I wish there could be a solution ; but I can't seem to think of anything.. =/.. hope I helped..




Love,
MELii

You don't seem to have much choice but to move on. Maybe after some time has passed he will want to be friends again. Until then leave him alone...bugging him about it will only make him mad.

Try calling him. That'll assure you that he can't just walk away from the conversation... unless he hangs up and then you know it's bad. Just tell him you really didn't say what he thought you did and say that you're sorry if you offended him. Ask him if there's another reason for why he's acting like that. There probably is because it's stupid to break up a friendship just because of "something you said".

I had something just like that happen to me recently. Just be nice to the guy and see what happens. If you really want to keep the friendship, tell him that. Don't lose the opportunity to keep his friendship or it'll be gone for good.

Aww!! I'm soRRie; that's teRRible.
But saddly enough, I think the only thing TO DO would be to accept and Respect his wishes. As unfoRtunate as it is, you simply CAN NOT **MAKE** someone change theiR opinion of you just because you wish it could be that way, ya know?? You've TRIED to make the fRiendship woRk, but he simply won't allow it. That's not YOUR fault.. that's not YOUR failuRe; it's HIM being STUBBORN!! I say the best thing you could do would be to contact him once moRe to let him know that the lines of communication aRe always open, and he will always have a fRiend in you. Hopefully that will get him to thinkin'. :) Until then, the only thing to do would be to keep youR head up and move on..
