I regret a conversation I just had with my friend. Sometimes we give each other advice on different things, including relationships. She was in an abusive relationship and I might have come off a little strong by telling her to be careful about going back. There was another guy she might get involved with, where there are a lot of red flags too.
I worry that instead of coming off supportive, I came off as a know-it-all, when that was not my intention whatsoever, and I want to be supportive. It's just that I don't want to see her hurt. I guess it's just that if someone gives me feedback on something and comes from a good place, I am usually okay with it and won't get mad. Now, I realize that some people are more sensitive than others.
There was a different time where she got mad at me for a misunderstanding over something very little, where she stopped talking to me for about a month with no contact whatsoever, not once talking to me about what was wrong. I didn't even know if she was okay or not. I can imagine her reaction being worse this time around. I hate to admit it, but she has been very passive aggressive. In this situation though, I can understand her not liking the way I came off.
I know I need to make changes, and I immediately texted her with an apology. She has not answered. I don't really know if I should try to reach out to her again, or if I should just let it ride?
I do not know what to do to make it up to her. Also, I'm not sure how to deal with guilt??? I have tendencies where I always feel the need to be on good terms with everyone and know where I stand.
