What should I do?

    During this lockdown, I've developed very bad habits, reverting back to my old way of dealing with my life. Withdrawing from almost everyone in my life, completely isolating myself.
    A close friend of mine, or as of now as she sees it, an old acquaintance was hurt by my behaviour. This friend has now cut off all communication with me, no longer wants anything to do with me. She feels that I'm a bad friend. Admittedly I have been lately, so maybe I am a toxic friend in her eyes.
    I have apologised and explained where my head is at but as of yet I've had no response.
    So should I continue to apologise, as I do value our friendship? Or should I just leave it? Respect their wishes and move on?

    I think it's very easy to fall into those habits, given the current situation we all find ourselves in. Especially for you if you used to do that before.

    You appear to realise what you have done and owned up to it and apologised. That in itself is a hard thing to do. Your friend doesn't seem very understanding to be honest, I realise she is hurt by your actions, but I think if it was me I would accept your apology and move on.

    You do value the friendship, so perhaps extend that apology one more time, and if she still doesnt accept and forgive then I think its best if you forget her and move on, because those actions in my eyes would be the definition of a toxic friend (her).

    All the best, and even if you do lose her friendship, use this as an opportunity to reach out to other friends and keep up communication and keep yourself social (from a distance ;) ) x
