Apology Letters to Friend.
Causing Stress in Our Friendship

I want to start by saying I’m really sorry for the way I’ve been acting lately and how it’s put a strain on our friendship. I know I haven’t been the friend you deserve, and I hate that my actions have caused you stress or made you feel like I wasn’t there for you. Looking back, I see that I haven’t been as present or as supportive as I should have been. Whether it was not checking in enough, not listening well, or just not showing up in the ways that matter, I take full responsibility for that. I never intended to hurt you or make you feel unimportant, but I understand that’s exactly what happened, and for that I’m truly sorry. I want to do better moving forward. I’m going to make a conscious effort to be more attentive and reliable, to communicate more openly, and to show up for you the way a good friend should. If there’s anything specific I can do to make things right or to support you now, please let me know. I care about our friendship a lot, and I hope we can find a way to move past this. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to talk. No pressure—just know I’m ready to listen and make things better.
