One of my expressions is" "people, who can figure them out?" We may recognize that we made a mistake and apologize and mean it but if the other party doesn't believe we mean it. So what can one do?
You can only do your part and hope the other person responds. Good thing there's over 7 billion people, so we never ever run out of friends.

You are absolutely right! There are so many amazing people out there in this big ole world just waiting for you. I know I have many great friends in my life and it's time to reconnect with many that I've lost touch with. Life is just to short to deal with the ones who don't have a forgiving heart.

Thank you for sharing your experience, my friend. 
Yes, life is full of possibilities and we can explore them and with God´s help find new hope and share it with others, just like you have been doing until now.

Thank you pinkpassion5 for the award!
When someone I loved very much (not only by best friend but also my second wife), betrayed and left me, I was devastated. The city where I live has a mountain in the middle of it. I went up to the mountain not too long after and looked in every direction and said to myself, "It's not the end of the world (as painful as it was), in fact there's a whole world out there waiting for me. I still have something to give this world." Up to now I'm still giving.
No, I have not replaced her and probably never will in this world (of course one never knows) but I have many friends. The world goes on and I go on! I remain 1hopefulman!

I do not apologize unless I mean it sincerely. And if the other person doesn't accept it, I admit I obsess about it and get extremely upset, but what can you do? Eventually I get over it, of course!

When I say I'm sorry I mean it. I don't get upset over it. I usually tend to be sad. I don't understand why people can't forgive and move on. Life is just to short to be bitter and unforgiving.

Yes, I mean it - otherwise it would not be honest. We can only do our part to correct a misunderstanding or other problem in our relations with people.
Came to think of the following good advice:
"17 Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. 18 Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone."
Romans 12 (New Living Translation)
