HELP

Generally, between friends, an apology and the passage of time is sufficient to mend most wounds. Sometimes not. Here there is too much we don't know. How close your friendship was, and the details of the misunderstanding. You may regard the friendship as close, while the other person may only think of you as one among many. To your friend the misunderstanding may have cut more deeply than you realize. Who can say? How old are you and your friend? To the young, misunderstandings and disagreements seem much more serious than when you are old. Old friends who have known one another for a long time generally know what subjects to steer well clear of, so misunderstandings and problems tend to be over smaller things that are quickly remedied.

Give the situation some time. The first time you see the person make a discrete apology, and try again to mend fences. Then back off and observe how the other person reacts in your presence for a period of time. Ultimately, we are all alone and should be able to adapt to lonliness. Its better to have family and friends, but even in a great crowd, we are still alone.
