Hi @User1255,
Thank you for sharing what you’re going through. It’s clear that this situation is causing you a lot of pain and worry. It’s really hard when you deeply care about your friends and are facing the possibility of losing them.
You’ve already taken a big step by acknowledging your part in the conflict and apologizing. That shows a lot of maturity and courage. It must be incredibly tough to have your apology not accepted, and I can understand why you’re feeling so distressed.
When people get hurt, they sometimes need space to recover. Giving them a bit of time can help heal the wounds. While you’re trying to mend these friendships, it’s important to be kind to yourself. Everyone makes mistakes, and what matters is how we learn and grow from them.
Since you mentioned knowing you hurt them, understanding the deeper reasons behind the conflict and their perspective might give you some insight into why they’re finding it hard to forgive right now. Have you had a chance to think about what specifically led to this situation?
In the meantime, talking to other supportive friends, family, or even a counselor about how you’re feeling might be helpful. Having a support system can make a big difference.
Once you feel ready and have focused on self-improvement, reaching out to your friends again might be beneficial. Focus on listening to their feelings and concerns. Sometimes, people need to feel really heard and understood before they can move forward. Writing a letter or a message where you carefully explain your feelings and acknowledge their hurt could also help.
Remember, take care of yourself, and I hope things get better for you soon. We’re here for you, and we care about your well-being.
