How do I forgive someone who doesn't say, "I'm sorry."?

I had a fight with an acquaintance and I do not like someone yelling in my face like that. If he doesn't realize an apology is due then I'm giving him the cold shoulder. Do you think this is the right thing to do?

    No, it is the WRONG thing to do because you will be making a conscience decision to hold a grudge/unforgiveness towards someone who you feel need to apologize to you. Is that the way you want to handle ALL sitautions with difference in life? What a hard road you will be paving for yourself. It is best to CHOSE to forgive people for wronging you b/f or even if they dont ask. Cold shoulders means cold attitude. You should want to deal with theissue in a more mature manner. Some people blow off on others without realizing that they have created wounds. It's just their nature. They mean no harm whatsoever and can later talk with you like nothing ever happened. We are all made up differently an most learn to live with each other in peace somehow.

    UNFORGIVENESS is a cancer.

    FORGIVENESS is a gift!

    my dear

    treat people the way you want to be treated. if you get into it, walk away before it turns ugly, which it did. now i think you should be the stronger person, and go talk with him. i know this is eating you up inside with all the WHY questions that you have. if you cant iron out what you feel, then maybe you cant forgive.

    also, what was the fight over? was it silly, serious, etc. only you know what can reslove this, and if he doesnt want to help, then he doesnt need to know you. friends are like relationship, and you have to treat each one special. if you arent getting that, then its time to find a new friend who WILL say im sorry when they are wrong.

    Sometimes you just...well...don't want to forgive them. And if anybody's reading this you know what I'm talking about. What I do, and it works, is tell the friend that they need to get their priorities in order and if you don't... well that person isn't worth being with!?!?

    Sometimes the best thing to do is apologize yourself, even if it wasn't your fault. Be the better person.

    forgiving someone isn't for their benefit- but for yours! when you forgive someone, you allow yourself to move past the offense...this shows maturity and personal growth.

    no need to forgive this person just take it nothing.
