Letting people down

I’ve been a bad friend. A very dear friend of mine sent me an email yesterday essentially telling me to pull my head in, which when I think about it, I thoroughly deserved. We’ve been friends for several years now and I guess I was taking things for granted. We’ve had a friendship where teasing and good natured joking has got out of hand in the past and it has done so once again. I’ve become a bit too vocal in some instances about choices that have been made that I disagree with, when in fact I should have been supportive or just shut up.

We do need to sit down and chat properly about things as there have been times I’ve felt uncomfortable as well, and it’s time to clear the air, clean the slate and start again. I think our friendship has slipped into stirring and teasing a bit too easily sometimes and it’s become habitual and not very healthy at times. This week I’ve upset a dear friend and I’m very disappointed in myself for doing it. Our friendship is one of those ones where we have quite different views on things and at times that does get heated when we can’t get our heads around the other person’s point of view. So, I’m putting a big fat apology out to the universe for being a dickhead.

    Sounds like the need for a good “Sorry!” might be mutual…

    Cheers, Polomint

    It takes integrity to admit when you are wrong and need to work something out.

    Kudos.

    Always knew you were a good bloke, B-Man. We all fuck up. But do we all admit it when we have?

    Forget the exact wording, but there is a saying about a friend being someone that knows the worst about you but still loves you.
