I really am sorry to a friend of mine. I tried to make it up to him but he just ignore me. Any advice? How can I prove to him that I really am sorry? Do I have to beg? or what?..

endaymo, you should never have to beg for forgiveness. Not ever. If you make a mistake or a blunder, you should honestly and sincerely apologize to that person and "ask" for his forgiveness. No matter what you have done (well, within reason I guess), you may owe him an apology, but, without knowing more details about the circumstances of what happened, it is difficult to respond in more detail.

No, don't beg just to show that you're sorry. If he's not willing to listen to your apology, then don't force it on him. I know you want to really show that you're sorry, so instead of apologizing, be a good friend to him. Don't just be nice to him to make it up to him, but be nice to him because you value the friendship between you guys.

I think crying is a good way to show that you are sorry. Beg on your knees and cry your heart out. That can work. I think friends should always forgive others' mistakes. Otherwise what is the point of friendship?

It is not easy to prove that we are sorry for what ever wrong or mistake that we have done to our friends. And,it's not easy to take away the pain also,and most especially the trust. I just hope your friend can forgive you. you can show your regrets by doing some moves,like saying sorry...if it doesn't work,you can try it again. If it still doesn't work,you can go to his house and visit him,that only shows that you are true to your intension of asking forgiveness. Have a nice day always and keep posting
