The Quandry...

[eiblyn]

What does one do when they meet someone that, looking back, they should have seen differently? How does one start over with someone when the feeling is that it is beyond hope? How does one move beyond the insults, the pain and the fear? I really wish I knew how to start some things over. I wish I had done some things differently. I wish they had done some things differently...is there a realistic way to ask someone to start what-could-have-been-a-friendship over? And how do I know they'll take me seriously? Bruised emotions and feelings take the longest to heal...and I really do want to at least manage decent acquaintanceship with them. Anyone have suggestions?

I totally agree. You wanna start over, so tell them that. It won't change what has happened but it is a good start.
