Question From Erica Bae

Erica Bae

"I need some serious help. So, my best friend and I used to be really close. Like, we met at Facebook with a mutual friend and found out she lives really close to me and we started talking more and more. We got to point where we even tell our deepest secrets to each other and have late night talks and early morning talks. However, we always fought because she's really stubborn and unreasonable and doesn't understand that I have a strict curfew because my mother makes me and I can't go out a lot and so she gets mad at me and it leads to fights. One day, we had this fight about me liking a guy she despises. I knew this guy for awhile and she hates him for a stupid reason. Something like hate at first sight. So, we started fighting and I said some insensitive things to her and we didn't talked again for awhile. I started apologizing after a week. I know she misses me too because she always talks about me with our mutual friends and I miss her too but she doesn't want to accept my apology because she knows we will keep fighting and that I will hurt her again and that she'll keep bothering me. So, now it's a few months after and she still won't talk to me and I'm thinking she already forgot about me.....I apologized to her one more time on Facebook and she only saw the message. I don't know what to do anymore...my other friends are giving me advice like keep waiting for her response or tell her off! Please help! You're my only hope.
I really do want to be friends with her again....btw, it's been a little over half a year now."

Erica, I think that you solved your own problem! Tell her exactly what you just said (or you could even send her a link of this conversation). I think that you should keep on apologizing and when you see her in person, remind her why you two were friends in the first place! All friends argue, and many never recover their friendship because of it. Hopefully you can make her see that you still think about her and that you want to be friends with her again! Invite her to a movie or something to show her that you are still thinking about her. Hopefully she can forgive you! You seem like a super nice friend and I hope that this all works out! Hope this helps!

With great love,

Jill
