many incidents have been happened in my life.., failures, disappointments, brokenheart. i've been always experiencing such things... i felt more disappointed when i went to my friend to ask some helping hand and crying shoulder for that very moment... but then he resisted to my favor. instead of helping me... he pushed me away and said that im so pathetic. now, he is coming once again into my life ang apologizing to the things that he has done.,.. what should i do? am i going to let him in one more time around or just pushed him away like what he had done?

I think it's okay to let your friend back into your life. But to be on the safe side, keep your guard up. You never know if he'll react the same way if you should need his support again. He may be just one of these people that only cares about his own problems.

i can see where you are afraid to let this person back into your life. although they did hurt you in the past, maybe they have realized what they did and want to make it right. for myself, i would still be pretty slow to fully trust or put myself out there emotionally just yet. but i think you should give them a chance and see. just have a small wall up for now to protect yourself and slowly see where the friendship leads this time around.

Hi there Eliz! Well, I cannot blame you because it is normal that you react that way because you've been hurt. I believe that if you still love him, then by all means, give him a second chance but make it clear that this will be the last one. But don't do that if you cannot forgive him fully.

uh, give him a chance, maybe he has the reason why he did it to you. but well it depends on you. if you push him away, maybe you couldn't see him again once more again, which you say you need him, and if you accept his apology, you can bond more and be friends again.. i know how do you feel when a friend hurt you, actually i feel the same way as you now that sometimes, i really want to cry because i really don't know what should i do.. but give him another chance, but do not put all you guts on him, just put some trust on him that he wouldn't do that again. happy mylotting!
