I miss my best friend but...

should I be the one to make the first move when I was the one who was hurt by her comments?? I know that the one who makes the first move doesn't always have to be the person who did something wrong but could come from the person who understands, but should I always just understand her? Shouldn't she try and put herself in my shoes? I miss her so much but I don't and I won't be the one to make the first move... I know I'm being immature but sometimes I have to stand my ground so she could see the extent of the hurt she's caused...and I can't tell anyone about this because no one is aware about the rift in our relationship...tsk, tsk, tsk...I don't know what I'll do with how I'm feeling right now without myLot...

It really depends on the circumstances. SOme people are just too proud to put themselves in your shoes or to make the first move. I remember a similar situation when my best friend accused me of doing something I very definitely did not do. She became so dramatic and nasty about it that I had to put a stop to our friendship and I haven't seen her since. There comes a time that we have to become strong within ourselves and let things go. In my case I had to let our friendship go because her accusing me wasn't fair and it wasn't just. She has a problem.

I think if she won't realize what she did this time I would have to put an end to our friendship too, she's become too insensitive and I don't think it's healthy to put up with a person who gets you hurt all the time just because you've been friends since forever...but it does hurt...

Ofcourse it hurts and for that I am sorry. But a person much stay strong within themselves. There is a difference between being a friend and being a target.

It's always been said that if she's a true friend, she'll come around and apologize for the mistake she made. I know that waiting for her to do just that can be so frustrating but just give her some time. I also suggest you tell someone outside your circle about the rift in your relationship. It isn't healthy to keep it to yourself.

one thing that I learned in life is to set aside my pride specially when I need to, I am a person who looks high on my pride because I thought that pride is all I've got to make myself protected from people who wants to hurt me but I was wrong, I didn't know that I was hurting the people who matters to me just because I couldn't set my pride aside... what I can just tell you is just follow what you think will be best for you..If you think she won't say sorry for it and you still want to be her friend then make a move but don't let her misinterpret that you did it because she's right and your wrong. make her know what she made you feel and that you think what she said had been hurtful for you so she will know next time for some people are not just aware of how they talk.

Ordinarily I would advise being the bigger person and forgive but is your friend has really hurt you badly or has done this before you may need to make a point and stand your ground as you say. Like others have said if she is a good friend she will think it over and eventually apologise. You could approach her and ask to speak about how she made you feel and see if you receive a sincere apology. The waiting is probably the hardest but I would give her a little more time. Hope you work it out...

Hi Marapplestiffy!. I think in situation like this is really depressing especially when you hoping thats she will ask for your apology. I think you know her better than I did, did she ever say sorry when she make mistake or she just got away with out saying it. I got a friend like thats every time she hurt my heart she just back with smile and acting like she not make mistake. So annoying person because she think she deserve treat any one the way she like. Honestly I prefer make distance and find someone else with mutual respect.

well, if your friend is really a friend, she will do the first move of patching up differences. I agree with you, don't do the first move this time, let her do it. But if she won't come into her senses, maybe you could just find other friends.
