What do you do when a closed friend doesn't forgive and keep on ignoring you?

well.. i can only add my own prayers to yours.. since there is nothing else to do except give it time and wait for your friend to come around.. time has an amazing gift healing even deep wounds..

Well when this first happens i usually try to find out what is happening within his/her mind. Maybe they're some deep seeded issue relating to their past. Trust me i know, for example me and my friends are pyromaniacs, you give one of us a lighter and you will have a bonfire in minutes. My other friend's house burned down and now she has a phobia of it (i dont know the exact name of it). When she found out we light stuff on fire she just left. i didnt know what was wrong with her but she ignored me when i called her so i couldnt find out anyway. After a few days someone told me her house burned down and a lightbulb went off in my head. I tried calling her to tell her i understand her problem was of fire but she continued to ignore me. That was the end of the friendship. I suppose she just moved on i guess. To this day i wonder if she ever got over her fear. This probably didn't help you at all but i can relate to a "friend" who ignores you.

don't leave him or her...it will be slow but eventually everything will be fine...patience pays...

hi, Sometimes people change with there status. I have experienced the same with some of my friends before.If they are more prosper than you they may try to ignore you as they may prefer own circle where people are either more prosper than them or equal. So i have learn to take friends very light if they come and talk with you friendly then it means they like to be with you now which may change afterwards.Accept them when they are frienly and ignore if do want you.But is your case you said you did something wrong which made him upset. So i think he/she is hurt and whenever sees you just couldnt forgive you for the act you did. I dont know what you did so i cannt say that the fault is completely on your side but sometime it happens if we did something wrong it takes time to heal or sometimes it may not.Just talk to him/her if they are responsive else ignore.

You can't force anyone to want friendship. You're right with giving him space, you have done your part by apologizing for your actions. Now all you can do is move on. There really are people who can't help but stay angry, not because they want to, but it's just perhaps because the pain that the other has caused is simply too much to bear. Which is a good reminding that we should never be too comfortable as to neglect the feelings of others, most especially friends, because once you hurt someone, it isn't as easy to recover the broken friendship or relationship (as what you have experienced). I have gone through that too. I thought his reasons were pretty petty, but I guess in reality it isn't that petty. The friendship truly ended, but at least I have done my part of apologizing as well. How did I handle it? Well, no one can do anything. You just wait till he/she talks to you again. How long? Don't bet on it. Once a person's pride is hit, it's bound to take a lot more than 'sorry'. I just let him be. You should too. Good luck!

As you have said in your comments that you have done your part so your friend is the one who is having the problem and don't get it as yours. If you have done and corrected what he or she doesn't like and still your friend is ignoring you, then that friend has the problem. But if you have not corrected what he doesn't like, but just ignore it then you might tell your friend what he or she needs to know. Have you told your friend what needs to be known or you still keep something unknown to that friend? Anyway, enjoy your day and may the Lord be with you in your decisions. I am sorry for my long response.

bren_yrra, Some people just take a longer time to come around and probably even a lifetime. I suppose we can never fully fathom every human including your close friend here. I do not know what went on between the both of you to arrive to this stage. But if you still treasure this friendship, I suppose you will just have to give him more time to come round it, especially when you are the errant party. Even the tempest needs time to subside and recede, so will this episode of yours. Just sit out and let time do the work with the both of you. Take care and have a nice day.

Well all I can suggest is that you try and talk to your friend agin, and apologize agin, and just give it some time and hope for the best because out side of apologizing from your heart there really isen't much else you can do but waite and hope that with time your friendship will mend itself. What I would do is attempt to talk things out agin, and make it clear how sorry I am and if thats not enough for that friend then I would unfortunately have to let it go because some situations may be to serious for that friend to forgive, it really just depends on what was done, and weather or not that friend will give you a second chance to show that you will never do the hurtful thing agin.

I dont know what you did nor am I saing that he doesnt have a reason to be angry.I am thinking however that after being angry with you for so long ,he can forgive you and move on.In fact that is the definition of friendship being able to forgive someone when the easiest thing is to be angry with them.The way he is ating has me thinking if he was really your true friend.Maybe he needs some time apart to cool off and recognise the value of your friendship

Well, if he/she keeps on ignoring you even if you are already begging for his/her forgiveness and you are sincere, then maybe you should give up. If I were you, after I made a lot of moves to be close to him/her again yet he/she still keeps on ignoring me, then I would start to get annoyed already. If he/she wants to keep ignoring me, then so be it. I won't grovel at his/her feet and ask for forgiveness anymore. Maybe I would just let the friendship end like what he/she is doing. It is just not worth it at all. My pride also has its maximum tolerance, you know?

For me I don't care just let the day gone buy and your friend recognize after all that your friendship will be good.

if this happens to me then i continue to apologize my friends until they forgive me..i talked to them whats the matter why they ignoring me and if they they still don't want me to be the part of their life i will then never talked to them....

Aah,this is probably the best time for me to answer this post.One of my friends is a bit cross with me since the last few days and I have been trying to improve his temper.The issue wasn't too big,it was just a bit of immaturity on his part and insensitivity on my part.But as soon as I realized what's troubling him,I instantly went into damage control mode.I am also a bit egoistic so I don't compromise beyond a point but my basic moves don't seem to have worked up till now.Time heals everything and I am waiting and watching the turn of events.I am reasonably hopeful that I'd be able to handle it but I am being cautious and not trying to be too pushy.

I stan up, I insist until he heard me, that happend to my sometime, I also ask for help to other friend who help me, until today we still are very close friends, I hope you can fix your frelationship whith your friend.

I been through with your situation once in my life. I consider her as my best friend. But somewhere along the way we drifted apart. I really don't know what have I done wrong? I just wish i knew so that I can understand why our friendship was lost. I still feel sad until now.
