So a friend of mine who I’ve had a good relationship with for several months told me about a month ago that she wants to stop talking to me all together as she thinks I am too overbearing and bring up unnecessary topics unintentionally. She basically said that I stole her voice from her, that she never can get a word in around me, and that she is a very private person. Yet, she never let me explain why I am the way that I am.
I never meant for this to happen, and I feel terrible about it, it’s all my fault. I want to write her a letter to apologize, as we both communicate best through writing. In this draft, it seems like I’m talking entirely about me, but really, I’m trying to understand how she feels. I need to make edits obviously though lol.
If you are interested or good at writing / editing, I’d love to know where I can improve. There will be three posts as I am only allowed to add one photo at a time 🙄.
I agree that you should not send these. Unfortunately, sending these after someone has told you that they do not want further communication with you will likely be seen as doing the behavior this person has expressed makes them uncomfortable.
Sometimes, writing letters and not sending them can be helpful, because it helps us organize our thoughts.
I think if you have to say something, for closure, I would suggest telling her you are sorry and that you will respect her wishes. Maybe things change in the future, but these explanations you are writing aren’t the way. Sorry 😔
