Roughly five years ago I was looking to contact a friend I knew from college. Long story short I didn’t go about it the right way and her parents got mad at me.
Fast forward five years and I feel incredibly remorseful about what I did. I’ve been told I should just forget about the whole ordeal, but the whole situation lives rent-free in my head no matter how hard I try not to think about it. I don’t want to risk disturbing her again, but I also don’t want to pull a Matthew Broderick and never apologize/admit responsibility for a grave mistake. Any thoughts?
OP, you’ve given absolutely zero context or specifics here. It is impossible to understand the situation and we can offer zero advice.
You’ve also dismissed literally all advice that people have tried to give and shown you have no desire to listen. So why even post this?
