That's a nice perspective, I guess I'll have to just wait. If they do care I will know soon enough.
I have apologized, I was afraid for this friend and needed to truly find out if they were ok. I still don't know what is going on. This happened with my running gal pal also and I have not heard from her since. I considered her my best friend, save for my wife, I guess I haven't a clue.
I certainly have not gotten over it and this compounds my sadness.
I care for those I call friends deeply, as you know Danielle, and can't stand idly by when help seems needed.
This is my mess, no one else's, Jess
This is the 777th Jess's Mess comment, it doesn't seem very lucky to me.
@Jessica Dear Jess:
I would not wait around for them to get back to you.... I would continue to reach out to them and affirming to them that you care and also continuing to ask for forgiveness. Be persistent with this, good friends are like finding diamonds in the sand at the beach, you just don't lose them without being determined to find them again.
That is a very good personal trait and a caring attitude for a friend. I would rather boldly make a move to support and be concerned for a friend in apparent need than to think that I shouldn't be involved in possibly offending them and not intervening.
Just imagine not getting involved in trying to check up on a friend and offering help only to find out that something terrible has happened to them.... I like to err on the side of empathy and caring.
Keep doing what your compassionate heart tells you to do. That is the Jess that I have come to know here on the Forums...
Hugs and hugs and well wishes,
DanielleBeing persistent is what caused this issue to be where it's at. I said earlier, "When will I ever learn to shut up"
I will not contact someone that has made it clear to back off or say they are done with me.
The concerns of my friend today, I have had before, and was apparently wrong then, but I don't know about now. Extreme comments were made, privately and publicly.
All this hurts both of us, and I don't know if I can be what is asked of me.
