Try not to be too harsh on yourself: even if you've done bad things, you clearly feel guilty and want to change and I think that means you're still a good person. Losing a friend is so tough, especially if it's our own fault, but with time, it'll gradually heal. Also, you've been best friends for a while, right? Then it's likely that after some time has passed, they'll be able to forgive you and you'll be close again. Good luck with everything x

[@envyling2461]

The most hardest thing to do when someone doesn't accept your apology is the giving the time & space part. For the time & space part, sometimes you don't know how long it takes for a friend/love one to recover & eventually forgive you/accept your apology. In one of my cases, one of my friends took about 10 years to finally came back to reconnect with me & accept my apology. It took 10 years & considered a painful lesson for me! When my friend decides to reconnect with me after 10 years, it was a huge blessing that I cried from my friend's return. That's why that singer Elton John has the famous song: Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word & that song suits well with the case of what happens when someone doesn't accept your apology.

Giving an apology doesn't mean reconciliation. For me, keep the apology. What matters to me is that you don't do it again, whatever it is. Actions speak louder than words. What I don't like is someone coming to me years later and apologizing. I don't care. I've forgotten about it and now you're rehashing it. I'm not against apologies but apologies don't fix the past, It can't undo.

[@mikethomas4570]

Forgiveness sometimes needs restitution, and not just “I’m sorry”

​@@legendarytony2454 Saying sorry does not aways come from place of guilt for everyone. It's putting your pride aside to acknowledge that you made someone upset. It's creating a healthy and safe space for two people. Apologies don't always have to be one sided either. Many times, disagreements or misunderstandings between two people have two sides to the story. I believe both parties should put pride aside and apologize.

Last point was very important: let it breathe. I believe in sincere, SINGULAR apologies. Going on some sort of a campaign for someone's forgiveness or acceptance usually (1) doesn't work, (2) can turn into a 'power play' on their part and (3) can erode your self-esteem.

Even then I should not have apologized. They never ask me for it. And according to this persons they didn't know jmi had done anything. I guess it was like a confession or I dint know. And I apologized for my actions and thoughts. Actions and thoughts the others didn't even know about. So I basically shot myself. And ruined those friendships. I guess the only complaint I have is to communicate. I was never asked to give time. I was told things were okay. Hindsight I shouldn't have believed those.

[@leinesim]

Everyone will accept apology if it is honest. Unfortunately, way too many times we say sorry just to get back in track and we fool ourselves that other person did not notice. But, if we are honest about apology and if we try to make redemption, everybody will accept

[@LightningFox7]

Not always. I was honest in mine. It wasn't accepted. Although I was told things were fine between us. And everything was okay. Days later I noticed things weren't okay and they were very cold and kinda rude. So I was confused. Granted I should have given time. And I didn't ask again because I didn't want to bring it up. I was stupid. Also it may have to do. That the others I don't thing they knew what I was apologising for. I guess it was more like a confession and with that an apology. I thought if I was honest in the things I messed up it could make the relationships stronger. I didn't want to continue if that was there. Im very ashamed and disgusted in myself with how I acted. I didn't do anything horrible. And looking back I shouldn't even have brought up those things. The others didn't even know until I told them. And also I should have waited more time in apologizing. I wasn't in a very good place. I was coming to terms with situations, with how awful I was behaving. Right now I don't talk to them. Only if necessary. Point is I was honest in everything I had fuck*d up. And then was told everything was alright. I shouldn't have been so stupid to believe that. I was never told to give Time. I was an idiot in that. I also was prepared to lose that relationship but, like I wrote I never was told to give time or that things aren't okay.

[@VisionsDark]

When someone apologizes and you don't accept it then you are willingly holding them emotionally captive. Depending on the person it can really make them suffer and wrack themselves with guilt. What you do when you hold this power over a person can illustrate your own shortcomings. If they try to make amends and you still don't accept it then a glimmer of cruelty is revealed because you are not ready to forgive and would rather they suffer, more suffering does not wash away suffering, it only creates more.

That's my exact situation. I lost my cool on a co-worker that was more focused on flirting with others and being on facebook than doing their job. He's popular, handsome, smart and related to the boss so he got away with a lot. I admit I'm jealous of him because he gets his way most of the time and I'm the opposite of him. I'm quiet, I keep to myself, I'm not attractive and popular. I got tired of working my ass off and seeing him not doing much and I went off one day. I apologized and after a while I thought things was calming down until the troublemakers seized the opportunity to keep some drama going. So know this time I didn't do anything and he's mad at me all over again and I can't fix it. These people keep telling him I'm saying stuff that I'm not saying and I want to defend myself but I'm afraid it will cause a fight so I just keep my distance....things haven't been the same. He's quite recently but I'm still working there and left with this pain knowing that he left that place hating me and I know I did the right thing but I still can't stop hating myself. I know how silly it sounds...I know I can't please everyone but I try to keep the peace but I failed in this situation...I blame myself a lot!

I thinks its also helpful to acknowledge the huge benefits apologizing brings us personally, psychologically, anyway. It's similar to benefits of forgiveness but from the other side, if that makes sense. And sometimes its just not possible to put some things right but. like you said, time and space can be a great healer.

When I Apologized to My Ex-Bestfriend she told me 'I DON'T NEED YOU B*TCH' I was just trying to apologize But This is just hurting so much

[@fadeskywards1245]

I'd say the worse thing than not being forgiven by someone else is not being able to forgive yourself.

[@pegasus8252]

thank You so much my mom was mad at me for days (2 days) and when i used your tactics we are getting together

[@Walkingadversity]

Last night I made one of the worst mistakes of my life. I let my insecurities and selfishness get the best of me. I spread false rumors about a special woman in my life to her friends out of frustration because I thought I was being lied to. But it turns out it wasn’t true and when she found out that I did tell people those rumors, she contacted me about it. I apologized to heart the first time because I was genuinely upset with myself. She didn’t respond. I’m going to try to give her a week and a half of space. I am angry with myself. I really hope she can forgive me and if not, then that’s ok, but it’s going to take a long time for me process it. I’m going to try to quit drinking and start seeing my therapist again. I pray to god she can forgive me even if she doesn’t want to be back together with me.

[@aegisreflector1239]

Females don't really accept apologies. I would probably just give her one more sincere apology, and just leave it alone, the ball is in her court

[@mihaolgrabocka2181]

Hello. From my experience it is better to not apologize to a friend or best friend. Just don't talk with them. You'll think I'm wrong but try it and you will know how much better it is.

[@hijabibabeee8724]

How can u say that?

[@Reasyn928sa]

Advice appreciated

[@isurf239]

the one person that I was truly in love with, I was so wrong to her, hurt her in so many ways mentally. If she ever forgives me it would not be for me it would be for her. I have to forgive myself, which I am working on. I can never hurt her or anyone like that again period. I have to change/evolve.

i made my older sister cry on her birthday, she almost never cries. I feel so bad, she doesn’t want to accept my apology.

[@mjjj6614]

She said simply saying sorry isn’t enough, but I don’t know what else to offer her because i am: very incapable of doing the things she wants me to do.

[@dicksonfranssen]

This is what's kept us together for 27 years. If you're truly sorry for something you did you say you're sorry ONCE and that's it. Obviously an explanation is sometimes needed, I'm showing early signs of CTE and my wife is on hormone therapy so that's a given. My sisters are screamers and door slammers who need to hear it over and over again, that's their tough luck. I've broken the cycle of abuse in our family and all I have to show for it is my wife, our loving home and our pets. That's enough for me.

If you had already apologized, just know if they harass you and say that it was the most sincere apology (like me 😔) you have still apologized, and it’s better than no apology. When you apologize, you forgive yourself, and even if they don’t accept it, just know that you have felt better about yourself

[@michaeljordan9879]

@@garybardwell7117 well, maybe his apologies do suck. His “not my problem”:attitude sure sounds like it. Your apology can’t be an ultimatum for them to accept it or else. You are never entitled to be forgiven. You have to earn it with empathy and sincerity. If you can’t acknowledge what you did wrong and understand how it affected the offended person, then your apology means nothing.

[@watitduful]

After reading some of these comments I can see why their apology wasn’t accepted. One of the themes I notice with some of these people is that they actually believe they have room to dictate conditions. That in and of itself shows they’re selfish and jacked up people. You don’t get to dictate to the person you did dirty whether they forgive you or not. It’s not your place. For those wondering why they do that, I’ll tell you. They’re conducting themselves like that because they loath the idea of self accountability. These type of people, especially the ones who have a habit of betraying others, likely live a life where they’ve gotten by being like this. It’s easier to project things on to others as far as they’re concerned. Furthermore, they want the forgiveness because it’s a way to absolve themselves from feeling guilt & remorse. They don’t have to self reflect and exercise self awareness. Reason being is because deep down they know they’re not about sh-t anyway. That’s why they can back door people, especially those they claim to love, so easily & exercise at best superficial remorse. The proof in this is the fact that if you didn’t forgive them they get angry and try to project accountability onto you. Dark psychology stuff. Again, people like this ain’t worth a molded bread crumb in terms of character/integrity. Anyone who is truly a healthy person understands that they can’t dictate that a person accepts their apology. If someone is sorry then they’ll still be so regardless. It would be like me robbing an old lady and then later getting mad at her for not accepting my apology. Imagine… “Miss, you’re a very judge mental and hateful person because you won’t accept my apology. Sure, I stole your purse and traumatized you but still, how dare you not accept my apology.” See how that sounds 😂. It’s ridiculous. People in here preaching otherwise can miss me with that manipulative mind game stuff. No wonder some of you can’t keep a friend. You drive them all away being a 🐍. Duh.
