healing the broken friendship, how?

First off Jing, you have apologized for your part and also asked for his/her forgiveness. That's it. Dont dwell on it. If you have admitted your wrong doings and are trying to give this person space, you have done all you can for now. You must be careful because sometimes people take advantage of a person who's trying to aplogize. Make sure you pay close attention so that you dont become a victim yourself. You seem like a good person, who's trying to fix a wrong doing. First things first my friend. Forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. I mend a broken relationship by trying to talk in person. If not, I email them or send them a letter allowing yourself to share feelings and apologies. If you get no response or the response seems to feel as if there are stipulations, then save yourself alot of hassel and move on. Life is to short to try and fix something where the other person is using your apology as a form of negotiation. I am my own best friend first. Then I open my heart fully to only a few that I am sure I can trust. THe others are just associates that I have met on my daily adventures. I try not to break friendships in the first place. This way I dont have to worry about apologizing. God Bless. dl

i think there is one of the best way to heal the friendship is with communication with each other. 1 year ago my friendship is broken, we almost never talk each other for a weeks, someday i ask her to talk. and the problem that make our friendship broke is missunderstanding. communication is the important thing to friednship.. =)

Well, it happened to me last april. Someone spoke not so good words to me accusing me of telling others of an issue that should not be an issue to be poud of telling people about. Of course I did not told anyone about it, but he insisted that I was this and that and it was not the words I expected to hear from that person. I respected him s much and look up to him as my leader but, his words were so sharp and i felt really really bad about it. So bad that when it was dinner time I had to eat almost all rice just to finish eating as quickly as I can. And i was also thankful coz the day after that incident I went to our missions training to do volunteer work at the kitchen so i had time to not to speak and reason enough not to see him. I cried so hard that evening, i was really hurt. Really hurt. It took two weeks for me to finally say the sorry first even if It was not my fault. I got tired of always getting rid of him which was hard coz we are living under the same roof and its also not good coz we are christians. THough I have asked forgiveness and semed all were fine now but things were never the same again. Damage has been done. I hope all is well with you and you friend. have a nice day!

by doing a little things to him, those little things that may win our frienship again, sometimes little things can patch up those gap between the two of you, also this is how i show that i really mean how sorry i am to whta i've done.Sometimes space or distance to each othe may cause wrong interpretation, sometime it means that its ok to you that your frienship had gone...

Healing a broken friendship? That's hard. depends on how much broken it really is. But from what you are saying, you should be doing well, because not acknowledging our mistakes and not swallowing our pride are the most common reasons for which a friendship ends. What can be done is asking forgiveness, but without insisting too much either. They don't want to get stressed too much about it, you will probably just disturb them that way. What you may want to do though is to slowly start proposing things. trying to talk things as much as possible as if nothing happened. basically: make them forget what happened by showing them why you became friends in the first place. Time of course does help. It's also a matter of how deep the friendship is, and the kind of person your friend is. some can forgive easily, others are more tough, and can hardly forgive, especially when it comes to betrayal or worse. (like attempting to steal their girl or things like that). Of course time helps both of you, removing pain on both side. Best wishes
