I'm wondering how if any of you have any tips on how to get someone to speak to you who's angry with you. I am totally fine with the person, and just want them to move on from the past, and be okay with being friends. If anyone has an actual story about what happened to them or anything like that, it would be very helpful. Thanks

I don't have any particular studies; however, in order to re-establish communication with someone who is angry with us, first we have to give them their space and enough time to settle with their feelings. Everyone has different ways of ''moving on''. I believe our instincts tell us when the right time is to approach the other person. That's when we can ask to speak to them and perhaps try to talk about what happened and apologize if necessary.

This can be difficult since you can't change their mind for them. If they just need some time to get over the situation, that's one thing; just give them that time. But if they are determined not to talk to you for the rest of their lives, for whatever reason, there is not much you can do. Just move on and live your life happily.

I think that depends on the person you're dealing with. If that person is so hard to please then don't bother trying. I used to have that kind of problem during HS. I had to do silly stuffs just to catch her attention.

Thanks guys. I agree with all of you. It's just so hard to listen to my gut, because my mind tells me to do other things, that I know are just going to upset the person. I wish we could act like none of it happened. It's not like I can take anything back. I'm talking about my ex btw. I don't know why, but I would love to be friends.. well, not even friends, just decent with each other. I can be that with him, but he just doesn't seem to be able to do it back.

Never in my life have I had someone want nothing to do with me.. it's weird

How long ago did you break up? If it's less than a year, he might be still sorting things out, trying to move on. Does he have a new girlfriend?
