Fix help: How do u fix a mistake when you tell someone you are obsessed - Help.com

All you can really do is tell them what you really meant.

Then it will just take time to rebuild their trust. Have you apologized?

If you explained what you meant, that’s all you can do.

Drop the subject, try to be friendly and relaxed around the person, and just see what happens. We all make poor word choices sometimes.

If you keep coming back to talk about it more, you’re going to make it worse. You’re going to seem like you really ARE obsessed.

Are you sure you are NOT obsessed? Because if I were the object of your admiration, I think being apologized to “like a million times” would really give me the creeps. You may be frightening this person with your intensity.

If you have apologized and tried to tell her what you really meant then there is nothing else you can do, you have to accept that this friendship is over for now, maybe in the future you will be friends again, but for now you have to move on and make other friendships, just remember this so that you don’t make the same mistake twice.

Also I think you need to work on your self esteem. You need to admire yourself.

Well, twice is once too many, but it’s not “like a million times.”

Give it some time. Back off, try to relax, and be friendly from a distance without getting in her face. Keep busy with other friends and activities.

This should blow over as things get back to normal.

Your welcome and good luck!

You’re very welcome. You’re a nice kid. This will turn out fine.

I am sure it will because you seem like a bright person and just the fact that you were willing to listen says a lot about you.
