OK, so my "friend" and i just got in a HUGE fight. We've been "friends" for two years but have gotten in SEVERAL serious arguments. Against our parents wishes we remained friends through out the years even though she would treat me horribly. Like I said before we just got in a big fight and totally decided not to be friends. Since the fight she hasn't gone out of her way to be mean to me but just being around her makes me remember all the times I've cried because of her being un-kind. We used to go to the same Bible class but since the fight I can't even stand being around her hardly being in the same room as her. I want to go back to Bible class but can't get over the fact of what she did to me. What should I do? And how do I TOTALLY forgive her, but remain not being friends?

Shortcake22 answered Friday May 11 2007, 4:59 pm: You can't really make yourself forgive someone. It will happen with time. For now, you just have to tell yourself that you have other friends and you don't need her. You know that you will be better off without her. When you look at her, don't think about how she wronged you, just think about how you are glad that you don't have to deal with her anymore. Be civil when around her. Don't be mean or spread rumors about her, that will make you look bad. Just treat her as someone you barely know. Say hi, make small talk, and be done with it. It will all start to feel normal, you just have to give it time =) [ Shortcake22's advice column | Ask Shortcake22 A Question ]
