Not long ago me and my best friend got into an arguement and I swore that I was right and she was incorrect. But as it turned out she was right and I was wrong. I was so embaressed and now I feel as if I have an Arch Enamy. I have tried to talk to her but I am to scared of admitting I was wrong. I don't know what to do. Can you help me get my best friend back?

Yes, I can help you, but you have to swallow that pride of yours and admit you were in the wrong. It's a hard thing to admit but you know you're a responsible grown up when you can eat crow. Part of being an adult is admitting when we're wrong. It's never pleasant to say, but I know she'll appreciate it. So get off Yahoo answers and go to your friend and tell her you're so very sorry and that you were wrong. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain here. Good luck!

The only way you can do this is to go to her and admit you were wrong, ask for forgiveness and apologize. A true friendship will endure the downs as well as the ups. If you can not do this in person write it down, on paper in a card anyway you can but you have to admit you were wrong and say I am sorry.
It takes a good person to admit they were wrong; It takes a better person to say I AM SORRY

Keep trying! Many times if you get on people nerves they end up giving in after a while. Me and my best friend went through a terrible time in our friendship and she was the one that did me wrong. But I went to her and told her what the problem was and now we are back friends again. The whole point is if you think that your friendship with this person is worth it then you may have to go through extreme measures to work things out between you two. She will listen eventually.

That happened to me and my 8th grade best friend. Unfortunately, we didn't fix it. I miss her alot and I really wish we could have fixed it. We're not enemies, we're just complete strangers to each other. To save you the pain, fix it. You won't regret it later, I promise. You need to stop having so much pride, and start admitting you were wrong. Tell her you are sorry. If there is anything I can tell you to trust me on it is this. Think about it and if you really want your friend back, you will do exactly what I'm advising you to do.

Saying, "I'm sorry - I was wrong," is one of the hardest things to do, but one of the most necessary if you want to heal the friendship. However, the other person has to be ready to accept your apology.
If you're afraid the person will hang up on you or slam the door in your face, try writing a letter. Not by email, but by plain, regular old mail. Good luck.

You shouldn't be afraid of admitting you were wrong. If you're really sorry, then admit it. There's nothing wrong with that. If it was just a small thing, admit you were wrong and just laugh it off.

Apologize, admit that you were wrong, and move on. If you are that good of friends, you, will be forgiven, and years from now you will laugh about this silly little fight you had.

You were wrong. Nothing will happen if you don't admit it, you still lost your friend. If your friendship means more to you than your ego, call her and tell her that you were wrong.

Go to her and tell her what you just said to us ,,or have someone to tell her about this site and let her read it ,you never said if she doesn't want to be your friend any more ,,so if you do let her know how sorry you are things will get better between you two ,,What have you got to lose ?

First of all you can't be scared to admit when your wrong, that's part of life....admitting your mistakes and correcting them.
