You ever notice people would rather stop speaking to you instead of apologizing when they’re wrong.
Without forgiveness you remain in bondage. Can turn this into resentment anger and grudges! Free yourself! Forgive them and move on! You learned your lesson and now you are free!
All too often. Very unfortunate to find out they really aren't your friends after all.
Avoidance is always a good sign of guilt - treat them with the contempt they deserve.
People also stop speaking to you, when they don't know who to stay loyal to.
It is not even about wanting/expecting an apology. It is that they acknowledge your feelings and viewpoint.
You also stop going out of your way to be involved with someone that took advantage of your kindness and treated you like dirt.
