WE ALL SAY THINGS SOMETIMES THAT WE WISH WE HAD NOT. THE PROBLEM, AS YOU ARE FINDING OUT, IS THAT WE CANNOT RETRACT OUR WORDS. YOUR SUGGESTION IS A WONDERFUL IDEA. SAY THE WORDS YOU FEEL, THO, NOT VIA SOME STORE BOUGHT" I AM SORRY" CARD.

Okay, bring your friend an uber nice gift basket with all their favourite things in it. But be sure to give it to them to their face, no mailing. First tell him/her that the gift basket is NOT a bribe, just a symbol for your apologies. Second, explain yourself and apologize ALOT, because their
self-esteem is probably hurt, and they may not want to forgive you. Be sincere, and admit that you are wrong. Say what you need to, but if they don't forgive you, leave it at that and try later. They should forgive you if they also care for you a lot. Good luck! :D

I think it's OK to write a letter, but probably not a gift. That may allow you to get things out without the emotion of seeing you kick in. If you do this, speak openly and honestly from your heart. Don't attempt to make excuses or explain why you did what you did. Just express your apology and your true feelings, and come right out and ask for their forgiveness. After this, maybe give them a day or two to think about it, and follow it up with a call or visit asking if they read it and are willing to forgive you.

I had a similiar situation where I was ver upset and said horrible thngs instead of dealing with it like an adult. I apologized and eplained why I felt the way I did and took complete ownership for my actions.

I think that that would be very nice. Although make sure it is hand written so it comes accross as you took alot of time to think of ways to apoligize. After some time goes by, like a day or so call them or meet with them to apoligize in person. Then it is up to them. Good luck!

I think that giving them a gift basket and deleivering it face to face and apologizing and showing it. Will make that person I think feel better and maybe forgive you.

No, you must be a man and face the problem head on. Regrets look back, faith looks up, people may doubt what you say, but they will always believe what you do. Matthew12:33

first forgive your self , we all say some bad things when we angry, instead of sending a nice gift basket and a card i will rather suggest that you deliever it in person. be strong and face it.

I think that's a wonderful idea!!! But!! I think if you went and hande delivered it to to your friend to call a truce and talk about what you did--it would be worth alot more than just having it sent over with a card. blessings.
