Hi all.
One of my closest friends is angry with me.I mistakenly said something which he didn’t like,and then he hung up the phone on me,and after that,he isn’t talking to me.Neither he answers my calls nor he replies to so many emails i have sent him.What should i do?He is a very dear and sweet friend,so i don’t really want to lose him.Please tell me what should i do?
Re: Friend being angry
You've made phone calls and sent emails.....you can attempt apologizing face to face.
If you have apologized sincerely.......then you have done your part. So now all you can do is leave him alone.......give him some time and space to calm down.........and if he values the friendship enough......he'll get back in touch with you. He knows how to contact you if he chooses to do so..........so leave him alone. Don't bug him anymore.
Re: Friend being angry
^ What if he doesn't?Should i just forget about it then?
Re: Friend being angry
So make a new friend.

Re: Friend being angry
if he is a close friend and you are sincere in your apology then he will come back .. maybe he is just showing his bha'o
Re: Friend being angry
A true friendship is strong enough to weather tough times. If he can't forgive you after you've apologized several times...........then it wasn't a strong enough friendship...at least not from his side.
Re: Friend being angry
So for the time being,i should just leave him alone?

honey, you did your part by apologizing. You did your farz. Is se ziyada, you can't do anything else. So.......YES........leave him alone....give him some space and time to cool down.
He could even be ignoring you to show his power over you.........so that's another reason to not chase after him anymore. Just leave him alone.
Re: Friend being angry
Dont just drop all the contacts, but decrease the frequency of it maybe
Re: Friend being angry
Okay, so i can try contacting him after some days, if he doesn’t?
Re: Friend being angry
or do what all girls do when a guy friend gets angry at them .. get angrier at something very insignificant that he probably did 2 years ago and tell him that till he apologizes, he should not expect any contact from your side .. that will teach him
Please don’t contact him every other day. That makes you look desperate. Don’t feel too bad and sorry for him. Yes, you made a mistake…but you also did the right thing by apologizing. What more does he want?
He’s acting like a child. MATURE people communicate their issues…instead of avoiding/running away. He’s being immature. So…when he has calmed down…and if he values the friendship…he’ll come after you.
If you must call…just contact ONCE this week…and leave him alone…instead of calling every few days.
Is he only a friend…or more than that? He’s not the same mentioned in your previous thread is he?

Should there be any difference in making apologies to just a friend and to someone who is more than a friend?

Relax, I had no intention of being rude. Should there be a difference? Well.....I haven't established any specific rules regarding apologies. It depends on many factors. People have different ways of apologizing. And people have different ways of receiving apologies. And it also depends on the extent of the friendship. If the "friend" is more of an acquaintance......the efforts at apologizing might not be so persistent.
It seemed like you were really really concerned.....so I was curious if he were more than a friend or perhaps the same individual you mentioned in your previous thread. Just curious....not trying to be mean. If that were the case....I wouldn't bother helping.

Re: Friend being angry
Giving him space would help
