What is the importance of giving time & space to a person who is upset with you?Though the mistake was yours & you’ve apologized for that but in return, what the person wants is breaking up of friendship with you. What do you do in such a situation? Giving time & space can help them change their mind?
Re: Importance of giving time & space
Depends on how serious the mistake is, and how badly the person is taking it. It they're being over-sensitive over a small thing, compared to being hurt over something quite hurtful and upsetting, there's going to be a difference in reactions.
Also depends on how close you are to the person I guess
Re: Importance of giving time & space
there is only so much one can do about it! if u have apologized and tried yr best to make them understand that ur sorry for whatever wrong u did and if still they dnt want to get over it then u just let them be. maybe time wl heal it or maybe u both r nt worth of each others friendship.
Re: Importance of giving time & space
I think everyone needs space especially if theyve been wronged. And the person who wronged them should give them that space to digest the apology even. The ball is in their court beyond that. You cannot push it.

I hope this is just a general question and not a personal one because this isn't the first time you've asked this. Giving space and time is important, but like other things, it has its limits as well. Of course it can also depend upon the gravity of the mistake too. If the person wants to break the friendship.....then move on. Would you really have had a pleasant friendship with someone who is not interested in one? What would you gain from that? If anything...such a relationship would hurt you even more. Have some respect for yourself and move on.

*it's very important for the upset person to re-evaluate the whole thing and get a chance to cool down his/her nerves and also to bring himself/herself to the level where he/she can forget, forgive and move on! *:)

Re: Importance of giving time & space
Time and Space are important, but not that important if you think about it. :)
Re: Importance of giving time & space
You maybe right, but NO 
. I would rather have that person curse me out over and over again than ask for space from me. Since I’m the type, I would apologize wholeheartedly (even if it wasn’t totally my fault) I expect my friends to never cut off from me like that. So mean. Maybe like a day or two. But anything more than that, don’t expect me to be waiting with open arms for you. bus
KKF- I like you even more in English

Hmmm,a personal one!
Many people emphasize on giving time to the person who may be upset, but I was wondering that,by giving time, it would help the person to heal the hurt you've caused them, and re-think their decision?
Re: Importance of giving time & space
That’s what you would want na. But people need space to digest apologies even

Here's the thing, Pinkyy. People have been given you advice that is similar to what you received the last time you created a thread on this very topic. But it seems like you just don't want to follow the advice or haven't moved on. You give that person time and space......and you continue living your life. You don't bug them. The ball is in their court. If they're interested in resuming the friendship, they know how to reach you. If they're not interested....then it's their problem....you would be more hurt trying to have a relationship with someone who is always giving you the guilt trip through their body language/words/actions. Who wants a relationship like that?
The problem with you is that you're waiting. Quit waiting, quit expecting, and just move on.

It depends on the gravity of the mistake...if its too big of a mistake you shouldn't even expect forgiveness.
THe other thing is...you can try to talk to someone but if they don't want to talk you...time and space necessary.
Re: Importance of giving time & space
yeah time and space is what they want, i doubt they will not forgive you unless you did something extremely horrible, they most likely testing you, they want you to repent for your mistakes, and if they forgive you now you have not learned your lesson. if you come back still even though you've been apart they feel that you have really thought about it and you’re not going to do it again, i mean the whole point at being mad and putting friendship on the line is to show you what your loosing and how they were feeling when you upset them, they feel disrespected, you have not understood how they have really felt about the situation, asking to be forgiven the minute you upset them is not going to happen, wait it out, but you should approach them after certain amount of time because it was your mistake not theirs, most likely they'll feel to cowardly to come and tell you they want you back because they will feel like they’re going to lose their pride if they do, so be the better person and go to them, they lost something to.

So, instead of waiting, one should take the initiative to break it off oneself, so that one can move on?
Re: Importance of giving time & space
^I am not sure why people assume giving time and space implies breaking of a friendship. If your friend got hurt and you apologized, you have fulfilled your responsibility as a friend. However, if he/she wants to live their life in their own way i.e. maintaining bit of a distance so the mistakes that happened in the past wont be repeated, there is nothing wrong with that. It does not mean he/she has not forgiven you..it just means, they feel better living their life in a different way than they did before. Let him/her live that way, you be there for him/her when you feel like they need you.
Re: Importance of giving time & space
I was very very close friends with my best friend...we hanged out ALL day together. Since we are friends since we were kids, our families are also friends. However, something happened that my parents and her parents got a bit upset at each other. So I had to strike bit of a balance between my family and my friendship with her. If i didnt, that would mean my relation would go bad with my parents, hers would go bad with hers, and our friendship would be bad as well. Sometimes, people need to make such decisions and things dont always stay same. I love her a lot just dont meet her as much..does not mean in any way that she should think this time and space between us is because I want to break our friendship off...that doesnt make any sense.
Re: Importance of giving time & space
I gave space to my GF in college and she never came back. I guess i gave too much space
