friends help: My friends and me went to a fancy school dance. - Help.com

hey there, ooops, you must be feeling terrible! sounds like an apology to her is called for really. It’s never easy saying sorry but it should help her because I bet she’s really upset now. what you said sounds like it would have been pretty hurtful for her (I’m a girl, I’d have been devastated if I overheard that!) and if you say she’s one of your best friends then presumably you don’t want her to be hurt. You can say to her that you like her as a friend that you realise you said a really nasty thing and wish you hadn’t said it, that you just blurted out those nasty words because you felt the other friend was getting at you when he said what he said so you said something stupid to get him off your back and now you regret it. Hopefully you’ve learned from the experience that you need to think more / engage your brain before you say stuff about other people sometimes, saying cruel and thoughtless things just gets bad vibes out into the world and if you are overheard they can do all sorts of damage. The world’s a tough enough place, it’s much nicer to be kind and it will get you further in life if you are not rude to or about other people! But everyone makes mistakes, it’s only human, what clears them up is when you admit you’ve been a jerk to the other person. Silence between the two of you will just fester and I don’t think you want that. And you shouldn’t be afraid to say to your other friend aswell that you are not interested in hurting people and wish you hadn’t said such a cruel thing and that although you don’t fancy this girl she’s a nice person and you are not going to be horrible about her anymore. I hope that helps. sending you all good wishes.
