I screwed up
I’m trying to make amends with someone I impulsively ousted. This person was one of the most sincere, wonderful friends I’ve ever had and I screwed it…. because of my impulsive reactive behavior to feeling hurt…I turn cold and venomous…and I just hate myself for it. If that person doesn’t respond to my message, I can’t say I blame them.
@easyWater4109 I'm sorry to hear about you and your friend. I think we all have moments when we're not at our best and we might over react. I know I've done this myself. I'm not even fully sure why I reacted the way I did and didn't even realize until afterwards that the reaction was way over the top. Have you tried to explain to them? I know you said if they don't reply to your message - maybe you could try to talk to them face to face? Or even a hand written letter?
Sometimes it can just take some time for them to work through any hurts we might have caused them and we need to show them that we won't act like that again. I hope you and your friend can work through things
Sometimes people want to move on. It is not for me to stand in their way. I suppose I knew this was coming and that’s why I reacted the way I did. Now, I just wish them well and let go. I’m grateful for knowing them and that is all I can really have.
@easyWater4109 You're right. Some times people do move on and we shouldn't stand in their way. I've been told that people come into our lives for a number of reasons - some people just pass through. Maybe they teach us something or help us grow in some way. It doesn't make it hurt any less when they move on
Maybe - Hopefully - we'll both find people who will stick around for a lifetime
