Apology Letters to Friend.
Apologizing for Misunderstanding Your Silence

I want to start off by saying I’m really sorry for whatever’s gone astray between us. I’ve noticed you’ve been a bit distant lately, and it feels like I’m trying to catch smoke with my bare hands. When I ask what’s up, you say it’s nothing, but I can’t shake the feeling that there’s more to it. I genuinely care about our friendship, and it hurts to think I might have done something to upset you. I take full responsibility for any misstep on my part. I should have respected your space better and not have pressed you when you weren’t ready to talk. I just want you to know that I’m here, ready to listen whenever you feel like sharing. I absolutely don’t want to add more stress to your life, so if it’s easier to just be honest about whatever’s bothering you, that’s perfectly fine. I promise to work on being more attentive to your feelings and giving you the time you need. If I’ve made you feel like you couldn’t come to me with your concerns, I’ll do my best to fix that. Our friendship means too much to me to let misunderstandings get in the way. Whenever you’re ready, I’d love to chat. No pressure at all—just know that I’m here with open ears and a slightly nervous heart, ready to understand what’s going on.
