I've never actually had any liquors or beers, so I'd not really have any comments on those things.
While it might seem harsh or a little weird to say, and I apologise if it comes across as those things, you've got two options:
- Wait it out
- Move on
With the first one, don't pester the person/persons involved. Don't be like, "Yo, man! I didn't say anything! Believe me!" 'Cos, that'll just aggravate those involved more. They've already got their minds made up. You can apologise only so many times before it becomes a broken record.
With the second one, if they're still being stubborn and refuse to communicate, forget 'em. They're not worth your time.
Personally, I'd do the latter. If they're not willing to work with you or discuss what was said/what wasn't said, and they're willing to take someone else's word over yours, and especially when you've considered them to be your best friend... Just, forget 'em.
That, to me, indicates that there is a lack of trust on the other party's end.
I've experienced it... sort of. Perhaps not quite like Squal's situation, but a form of it. I, however, haven't been on the receiving end of it. I've not been the person to ignore the other party. I, instead, tried to rectify it, but in the end, it was futile.
In a nutshell, the individual said something that I did not like. Thinking back on it, they probably thought it was cute and snarky. It still sticks with me, the level of immaturity that was represented in their comments. It hurt me so much so that I reconsidered the entire relationship I had with that person. Did I trust them? Would they do it again? Did they really just do that to me?
I gave them a few chances after that, but they kept repeating the same mistake over and over. I had to do what was best and remove them. At least 2-4 years of friendship went kaput.
Now that I think about it, whatever it was that they said, they were probably thinking it for quite a long time, and it just so happen to be that moment that they chose to basically ruin a friendship.
Ugh, Christ, I had tooth/gum surgery done at that time, too; think it was the same day or the next day. I couldn't really communicate, due to being dizzy and in severe pain. They just didn't comprehend my inability to talk.
irl i speak like an elderly person and use lots of words your standard british doesn't understand, at times they come off with a different meaning to what i know them as
@Cyan
