my friend is mad at me because of a misunderstanding. i have tried everything, but no matter what i do she refuses to be my friend. I have told her i was sorry more times than i can count. i was literally in tears before because her friendship means a lot to me. i even told her this. she has blocked me on aim and wont answer her phone because my name shows on the caller id... and she wont talk to me at school. there is no way i can get through to her that it was a misunderstanding. i feel awful and i don't know what to do....please help.
BROOKE8736 answered Thursday June 8 2006, 8:48 pm: hey i don't know if i can help ya out much on this, because i don't know the full story.. but i'll try. everyone gets into fights with friends, so ofcourse i know it's really hard. so far it sounds like you've done exactly what i would do, i'd give it a few days and try again, tell her that you've really been thinking about what happened and that you want to talk to her, and ask her if she'll please listen. and explain to her how sorry you are or tell her your side and apologize again, but i mainly suggest just really talking to her about it, otherwise you won't resolve anything and things will be awkward. if none of this helps, i'm sorry! i'm sure it's her loss losing a great friend, but keep trying! hope i could help! -- brooke.

AskOlivia answered Thursday June 8 2006, 3:54 pm: well i have been in a similar situation (not quite that extreme though) i understand this girl's friendship meant a lot to you but if she wont even listen to you when you try to tell her the truth then she probably isnt someone worth your time...she must not value as much as you do her..and thats just wrong...i say you just go to her one last time and say (in person so she has nowhere to run)hey! if i ever meant anything to you you would listen to me and wouldnt believe other people over me and if she still wont listen then it needs to end right there...

You haven't said what the misunderstanding was, but as long as you haven't accidently shot both her parents or burned down her house, I think that time should heal this one for you. [ Mousetower's advice column | Ask Mousetower A Question ]

Wait a little while for her to calm down a little and then maybe write her a note and leave her a message about how sorry you are and that you feel awful.
Elcee answered Tuesday June 6 2006, 9:09 am: I suggest that you write her a letter explaining the situation and pop it through her door. If she does not respond to that either it would be better if you let go. There is no point in kicking yourself if you have tried every angle to apologise to her. Once you have gotten everything off your chest you may start to feel better. Good luck. [ Elcee's advice column | Ask Elcee A Question ]
losers1 answered Tuesday June 6 2006, 2:14 am: well if you keep on apologizing for a misunderstanding and she won't forgive you then just give her some time to let her steam out. and either wait for a time when she's very very very calm or a time when she feels right to come to you and talk about it. good luck and have a great summer! bye

mllethenardier answered Monday June 5 2006, 11:17 pm: This happened to one of my friends. Unfortunately, it sounds like if your friend really trusted you she would take a minute to see from your point of view. Although it's difficult, maybe you should consider letting her go. There are tons of people out there that will appreciate what a loyal friend you are! [ mllethenardier's advice column | Ask mllethenardier A Question ]
xxsima answered Monday June 5 2006, 11:09 pm: This has happened to me before.
You shouldn't feel awful, because if she was being a true friend, she would understand. To me, she's being stubborn. Just go with it and if she isn't talking to you, don't come up to her and be like 'omg i'm so sorry pleasepleaseplease be my friend again!' because you are making yourself seem desperate and you are taking all of the blame.
In my situation, my friend actually apologized first.
