[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry but a lot of you are saying that the friend "apologized" but what kind of apology is: I'm sorry that I gave you feedback you weren't ready to hear That is NOT an apology for her actions. That's akin to saying I'm sorry you feel that way - not I'm sorry that I did something. And the friend did do something - she was negative, and per OP gave reasons why she would fail and was not remotely supportive. I'm with you OP. I'd give myself some time and distance but if your question is "what should I say" - say the truth because your "friend" apparently has no issues with telling it like SHE sees it. Tell her that you need time and space and that her apology was trash. Tell her that instead of supporting you, she gave you unsolicited advice that was negative and wrong. Tell her that you no longer wish to discuss this project/hustle/business with her ever again. And tell her to learn how to apologize like an adult.[/quote] Was just coming to say this. The apology was not an apology. She took zero responsibility for what she did, and likely still think she was right. Because she truly believes it is her place to weigh in on this business and that it is her job to tell OP what to do with regards to something that has NOTHING to do with the friend. So the apology is meaningless. She sounds really controlling and condescending. I cannot maintain friendships with people who always have to be right or have to be in charge. I think OP's friend needs to learn what it actually means to "mind your own business."[/quote]
