Opinions on someone who won't accept your apology?

[Anonymous]

You make a mistake/misunderstanding and your friend is mad. You then apologize but they're not having it. Do you understand, continue explaining to them, take a break from them, or just end the friendship?

For reconciliation, all involved sides should be willing, able, and ready.

Otherwise, the greatest extent is to remove barriers unilaterally. The response (s) of the other (s) are outside your control. If the problem is no longer in you, that is good. For the rest, that's their prerogative, responsibility, and decision. Their failure to follow suit is theirs and is due to their own reasons.

Interesting

Probably crazy.

I explain my side of things and then the ball is in their court. I typically give them some space and if they decide to speak to me again, it's 100% their call. I won't lose sleep over something that I tried fixing, after taking accountability for my mistake and/or actions. It be like that.

Give people a little time, maybe try to understand why they aren’t accepting the apology.

[SpacedCharr]

An apology is not a given thing.

You, as the apologizer, can offer it. But it is up to the other party to decide whether what you have to offer is even worth coming to the table for.

Your apology likely means nothing to the other party. They see no use in it, nor in a continuing relationship with you.

Depends on what's been said or done and how the apology was worded.

[Lavinnykins]

Give up trying to explain yourself at the time and go back to it later/see if they open up to you when the storm has passed.

if you apologize to someone and they do not accept it then they are to immature for you to be around ! Thanks

[Anna0125]

If they don’t accept move on without them you apologize but it’s not enough I don’t need that toxic people people in my life.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

You sound like the kind of person who throws a fit when people don't forgive you immediately.

[Asker]

I can see why you assumed.

[Anoniemus]

You did all you could. Move on.
