Can friends forgive you?

[Rei02]

Here is the story. A few weeks ago it was my birthday, I expected a friend, whom I consider very close to me, to contact me in that day, but he didn't. Next day I had an argument with him about him, I apologized for reclaim him, 3 times, but he hasn't contacted me yet.

I know he has the right in not talking to me anymore, and I shouldn't beg him nor find him if he doesn't want to patch things, but sincerely, just for this stupid argument our friendship shouldn't end, right?

I mean, this trivial argument is not a friendship killer, shouldn't it?

I am overcoming my feelings of guilt right now, and I think I am making a progress, but I want to consider them in the future because they have appeared with other people in my life when things are getting in the wrong way: my brother, other friends, my mother (although I have fell less because of our history together), team work.

I want to think that in this trivial issues and misunderstandings like forgeting a birthday, friends can forgive you, if they don't want, then that's it.

What kind of friendship is this that you’re fighting for? You were right to be upset in the first place, because It’s not like he’s some random person in your life, but your close friend and he didn’t say happy birthday. It’s not even like you were asking for a party or some substantial recognition, just an acknowledgment and he said not one word. That’s really hurtful and you should’ve held him accountable. Instead you are apologizing relentlessly as if you did something wrong. There’s nothing healthy or favorable about the dynamic. He should be he one saying sorry and blowing up your phone trying to make amends, not the other way around. I think you should put more value on your presence in people’s lives and move on from him. Stop saying sorry and trying to save a friendship he isn’t interested in saving as well.

Thanks, a comment like yours is what I need. Yeah, there are people who are more worthy in my life.

@Rei02 no worries! There are definitely more worthy individuals out there, and you deserve people who value you just as much as you do them.

So he was supposed to call. Didn’t. You freaked out. Then apologized and called him a bunch of times.

If it were me I’d be like cya crazy beeeotch
