Realising things

    My self esteem issues caused me to be blinded to the signs of friendship/love/support by one of my closest friends. We aren't talking and I want to make up with her. I expected a lot from her, and realise now it was unfair. I want to tell her this but obviously don't want to put myself down as I explain it. We both did wrong but my issues made me think it was all her. I'm trying to become self sufficient in loving myself and it's that that has made me realise all this. But I am also afraid of expecting too much of her again.. afraid of falling into the same pattern of dependence.. do you know what I mean? I feel like I need to make peace right now but I know that obviously things won't be right straight away, if she does still want a friendship with me. I just don't want it to get too late and I've lost my best friend for life. Would love some advice. Thanks

    If you need to make peace then simply apologise. This also means going in with no expectations such as she should also apologise or trying to justify your actions. Its just a simple I'm sorry for......

    Also realise she may not be at the same place as you and may feel like venting or telling you to f off but thats her choice and something you can't control but at least you'll know you did the right thing and tried.
