A good friend of mine doesn't want to talk to me because I had some problems this week and didn't talk to them as much as I normally do. Now they won't talk to me at all.
Am I wasting my time trying to tell them that I am sorry about not having the time for them?

Maybe you are misrepresenting the situation and your friend understood very well you needed time for yourself but other things happened that gave your friend new insights and made them feel you re not into real friendship at all.Just a guess,it's not like I know them.BTW maybe they also not appreciate that you would put a Q like this here so all blame falls on them without a chance for them to defend their actions.I would never cut of a friendship for the reason you're describing so if you're sure that it's like you say it is forget about those losers,they're not worth your time.

I agree with the first person that answered. You could write a letter or an email. I personally think your friend is being selfish and immature. You had some problems, and they're not talking to you. That is ridiculous! Be prepared though, they may be even more childish and show other people whatever letter or email you may send them! Maybe just deal with your problems and hopefully they will just come around and realize they were being stupid by acting that way. If not, maybe you need better friends that will be there for you no matter what. I wish you good luck.

Send a post card with the word sorry; I miss you.How can I make this better? Write the sorry in bigger letters to catch their eye. Because it is open, they won't be able to resist reading it and seeing the sorry first will get their attention big time. This is better than a letter or e-mail which they would have to open or a call where they can hang up but.... this is assuming you want to talk to someone that would not talk to you over what seems like a relatively small thing. I would wonder why, you want to talk to someone so focused on themselves they cant allow you space to work through something-but that is another question and one you will need to ask and resolve on your own

Don't know if you are male or female and if this "good friend" of yours is m/f either so...
Letter, flowers, do something nice for them they wouldnt expect, talk to their friends to maybe get them to put in a good word. Alternatively, give them some time to think about the situation then ask them to meet up with you for a chat to clear the air.

Having an idea of what your problems might have been last week I question how good a friend this friend was to begin with. But you value this friendship, I would write a letter. But DO NOT BEG. You deserve better. Hang in there. ♥ ya. Joni B.

Apologize one time if it's important to you, although in your circumstances I don't think it's necessary. If they won't accept your apology and want to be stubborn, drop them as a friend, and find a new friend,(or not), but get on with your life. Anyone who is not willing or able to understand isn't worth having for a friend.And also accept that maybe you didn't mean as much to them as you thought you did.

Sounds like a very immature person. Try a note, card or letter if they won't take your calls or talk to you in person. Really, it depends on how important this person's friendship is to you, becasue it doesn't sound like they are too interested in BEING a friend. Too self centered to even notice that maybe YOU have a life too.

try to explain the problem due to which you were not talking.And dont give up thinking Am I wasting my time trying to tell them that I am sorry about not having the time for them?Because if both think this way there are chances that you really lose a good friend.

wow ssirren that has got to be hard, if you did say sorry and they don't respond then maybe let it go, I know it must be hard to when it is a friend, but if your friend is a friend from the heart then they would be willing to accept your apology, no hon you are not wasting time, if they are a true friend they will come back. remember the saying, if "a friend is a friend from the heart" they will be back.
Hang in there girl, be strong and just maybe be patient with your friend.

Send them an email or use post-it notes and put your 'sorry' notes to them in places they will see them for sure. They shouldn't be so tough on you just because you had a week that didn't include them constantly. They are the ones who should be apologizing to you.
