I crossed a line I shouldn’t have with a friend of 2 years (nothing physical btw) and she expressed that we shouldn’t be friends anymore. I knew that I was 💯% in the wrong and I apologized and wished her the best, but I still feel the need to atone.

This is the first friendship I’ve broken down myself, and I’m feeling very ashamed because of it. To the people who were the one who was hurt, is there something more I should do?

(ofc i don’t know the full situation) i know it sucks not to be able to fix it, but if you’ve apologized and she’s made herself clear, the best thing you can do imo is to leave her alone. she knows you’re sorry, and you don’t want to get to a point where she starts to think you don’t respect her boundaries. the biggest thing that bugs me about a falling out with a friend is that they never actually learned what they did wrong and apologized, and since you’ve done that, i think you’re set rn

i had a friend (same friend) who 100% on their own destroyed a relationship. blew it up. then they got so wrapped up in guilt that they ended up basically harassing the person they hurt trying to atone and made it way worse. don’t beat yourself up too much, mistakes happen and this consequence sucks but it’s good that you understand what you did
