I made my friend angry

I made my friend angry; it's 100% me.
A little while ago, I asked my friend if they could introduce me to my part-time job. After that, I contacted the store manager, and the interview schedule was decided. However, after that, as I identified various part-time jobs, I found a place that seemed to be accepted elsewhere, and I made a phone call to decline.
My friend called in LINE this morning and told me that they wanted me to get in touch with them. My head wasn't spinning that far and I thought I had done it, so I apologized.
My friend contacted the store manager and I wanted him to say it wasn't angry that he declined; they're adults and they're angry that there was no contact; at least if they declined, everyone knew that it was my introduction after accepting the interview, and even if they apologize, I feel that it's too late. I was also told that such things would cause loss of trust.
When I told my friend that I didn't like it but wanted to meet him in person and apologize, it became unread.
I don't even think about my friend's position at work, and I'm seriously aware that I'm bad, is there any way I can make up? Is there no choice but to leave it up to time?
It's the first time I've made my friend this angry and I don't know what to do at all.

I would forgive you.

I read your question.

Relationships with friends
How should I fix it?
I think it's a problem.

I found another job,
Get in touch inadvertently
You've forgotten it, haven't you?

If you apologize
I think you'll forgive me.

because
For your friends,
No offense at all.
If you're a fool, I'll forgive you.

What must not be forgiven is
This is when you are deceived or betrayed.

It's fine.

My friend's anger is still there
Maybe they just haven't woken up.

After a while,
Please apologize sincerely again.

I'm sure they'll forgive me.

Don't overthink it.

Let's keep in mind that pointing out was an important word.

Well, I'm so sorry for what my friend said. Not only will you refuse to contact them, but you will also be ignoring the kindness that your friend encouraged you, so you probably should have cared about your friend as much as the store manager.

The reason I didn't end up with the story that if I had to decide anything else, I'm sure my friend thought to the store manager or work colleagues that they would do their best even if they were hired, conveyed your goodness and even took root properly, so that you could work smoothly. I introduced it, but for whatever reason, if you stop it after all, it will ruin your friend's face (whoa, that's a stupid kid, your friend).

Being told that trust will go away is probably proof that your friend trusted you. I think that's why I was disappointed. If I were in my friend's position... I think I would distance myself from the relationship rather than getting angry. That's because I don't want to be swayed around anymore.
Your friend might be feeling that way right now.

It's not marked as read... I wish it wasn't blocked. If you have a chance to meet, why don't you express your sincere appreciation in a letter? All you can do now is apologize profusely. Then, wait according to your friend's feelings.

This taught me very important manners for relationships. Originally, he was a great friend that I had to cherish.

Everyone makes mistakes, right? There are times when an apology is forgiven, and irretrievable things happen. Let's keep it firmly engraved in our hearts that what a friend pointed out like this was an important word.

The past is irretrievable, but...

 Mikan, work is hard, isn't it? Please take care of yourself.
You can't take back what you've done. But you can be careful next time. There is nothing left but to reflect on having failed once in your life and don't start again. However, as time goes by, humans forget what happened before and do the same thing over and over again.
It's a failure now, but if you repeat it, it will become your personality. If they continue to live with that personality, I think it's okay to just live as they are. Apart from that, there are a lot of people around me like that. There are also people who don't think so when it comes to whether they have lost their relationships. I don't know what the difference is, maybe because it has different strengths.
However, if you regret it, make an effort not to do it again. There are also times when people say they haven't done it even though they've contacted them because they've had a lot of experiences.
For now, I think it's good not to forget about spinach (report contact consultation).
Furthermore, a small flounder (does not get angry, does not deny, helps, gives instructions). Conversely, not getting angry or denying your partner even if that is the case is to change the way you deal with them by saying “be careful from now on.” I think it's a good idea to ask “what happened after that” instead of contacting people who don't report it.
They're not nice people and don't expect anything from their partner. We seek confirmation precisely because we don't expect it.
This is mercy, isn't it? That's all for me.

How to regain trust

I looked at the status of your consultation. While my friend introduced me to my part-time job, I ended up choosing a different place, and I made them angry because I lacked contact with my friend at that time.

What my friend sees as the biggest problem is not the “fact that I declined” itself, and I can see that they didn't think about their position and were not contacted before or after the fact. Now that you've introduced me, your words and actions are directly linked to your friends' trust. Therefore, I think I feel that “mud has been applied to my face.”

1. How to apologize

Right now, I'm in a state where “I can apologize lightly even if I just say words.” At times like these, it's important to show your sincerity concretely.

Don't lose your attitude of meeting in person and apologizing

Be sure to include “not being able to protect your friend's position” in your words of apology

Acknowledging clearly that “it was my carelessness and shallowness” without making excuses

2. How to regain trust

Once trust is broken, it doesn't return right away. There is no choice but to take your time.

If I haven't heard back for a while, I'm in a hurry and won't send LINE

Respect your friend's time to calm down

After a few days have passed, I will once again express my short and polite apology (“I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. (Even if I don't get forgiven, I won't forget my faults and make use of them in the future” etc.)

3. Buddhist point of view

In Buddhism, it is called “cause and effect,” and they explain that cause and effect are always connected. This incident had a big impact on your relationships with your friends due to a small cause where you “neglected to get in touch.” Looking back closely at that and “never creating the same cause again” is the greatest form of compensation.

summary

Admit head-on that you've downplayed your friend's position

An apology is “meet,” “simply,” and “don't make excuses.”

Take time to restore trust without being impatient

Putting time aside is not an “escape,” but it is also a “compassion” to put a friend's mind in order. Honesty and quiet waiting are important now.
