In this case, it's an issue between a friend. I didn't do anything horrid, but I was just having a bad day and they took something I did personal. I've apologized over and over, but to no avail.

Stop apologizing. One sincere apology is enough. If they refuse to accept the apology then they are the one with the problem. My boyfriend and I talked about this subject last night. We saw this TV show "The Office" where the main character apologized to the customer over and over again and she wouldn't accept. She wasn't gonna be happy unless he was fired. Some people refuse to accept apologies out of spite. If this person isn't willing to forgive you than said person is not your friend. Ignore said person and move on. The expression, "Forgive and Forget," means to keep the past in the past and not drudge it up again. If you've seen "The Chronicles of Narnia," then you must remember when the youngest brother turned on them and returned. The Lion, who represented God, said, "The past is in the past. Do not look back." Take this wisdom to heart because your friend keeps looking back. The Lion died so the youngest boy wouldn't suffer his sin just as Jesus died for our sins. If said person won't forgive you or at least accept your apology then know that God already has. He's the one who counts. An old man once told me how he wronged a friend when they were younger. He apologized over and over again and the friend refused to accept. They hadn't seen each other since. 1.) Because the friend wanted nothing to do with him.
2.) The one who wronged him stopped trying to apologize because his friend's refusal hurt him too much.
40 years later, the friend who was wronged was on his death bed in a hospital. For the first time in 40 years he wanted to see the friend who did him wrong. Mutual friends contacted him and went to visit him in the hospital immediately. When he entered the room and saw the one he wronged lying there, the one who was wronged said, with tears in his eyes,"After all these years, it hurt me more by not accepting your apology. Knowing that you were deeply hurt by me for not accepting your apology has left me with guilt ever since. We waisted so many years that we could have been friends, if only I forgave you sooner. I forgive you." Then he died. He could not die nor rest until he let his friend know that he accepted his apology. It was on his death bed that the wronged friend realized that he hurt himself more. They both suffered. If you think it might help, print this page and let your friend read this.

If you have apologized and it was a SINCERE one then I would just go to that person and tell them "I have offered a really sincere apology. I'm sorry that you can't accept it at this time. I'm sure you have your reasons. Please feel free to pick up the fone and let me know when we can carry on with our relationship. I'll really be glad to get your call"
This lets the person know (ONE final time) that you feel you have offered as sincere an apology as you can possibly give. It also puts the onus on the other person to get their act together and get over it. Perhaps they enjoy playing the victim because it makes you feel like grovelling every time you are together. I'd have this one last say in the matter and then leave it up to them to make the first move after this. What more can you possibly do? Give them space and if they don't come a'calling ever again then they weren't much of a friend to begin with.

first of all, you have have been given to start up on an entire abdomen. A wine spritzer is an extremely solid selection because it has somewhat much less alcohol than a common glass of wine. however you drink, %. one beverage and save on with it. White wine seems to be a generic selection. Lite beer is okay too. in case you elect a liquer, have it on the rocks or mixed with soda. No problematic beverages! No blending liquers! whenever you order a drink, order a glass of water. don't have a 2nd drink till your glass of water is long gone. Hangovers are broadly speaking reason by dehydration. devour mild snacks by using the night.

If you have sincerely apologized (and attempted to correct whatever "fallout" the action may have caused if any), then there is no need for you to continue apologizing. You've said you're sorry, and that's all that you can do.

No, I may give it one shot, or maybe another if I felt my apology was not initially received because of the emotions of the people I offended. Then, I figure it is over.

I apologize once. If the person doesn't forgive me, his problem. I don't like saying "sorry", so even saying it once it's a big sacrifice.

Apologize once, and now the ball is in their court. If they want to be bitter and hold a grudge, then that's their problem.

They really like to see you on your knees? Friends like that you don't need. Quit apologizing.
