Apologizing to keep the peace

    Don't want to go in to details but a friend of mine roared at me because I *think* she misunderstood what I was saying. She stormed off and made it clear she was expecting an apology from me.

    I have nothing to apologize for but our whole school year is a bit of a mess the last week over the same topic.

    Should I apologize just to keep the peace, we don't need another fight? Personally after the way she yelled and stormed off I think I should be getting an apology but she made it clear it was me who owes the apology.

    I usually will ignore shít like this and will never apologize unless I'm in the wrong.

    Advice?

    you could always say something like "I apologise if you took any offence to what I said"

    It's up to you; your choice. Lots of things to consider. What's the issue? how important is it to you? what are the principles? if you let it go what are the consequences? Is she worth the effort?

    If I don't apologize she won't talk to me again (literally).

    I deserve an apology and I know I won't get it and I don't want to be seen to be giving in.

    The thing is things were heated (again due to the hot topic) and she wasn't listening to me properly so that's when I got misunderstood.
