If someone tells you to stay away from them and leave them the F alone knowing they were saying it because they were heated does that mean they never want to see you again ever in life?

Laura1318 agony auntAnything said in anger should go in one ear and out the other. It should not be taken to heart.

Sending an apology letter is a positive move and it may help to resolve the problem.

I do not think they ment they do not want to see you ever again. They were just in a bad mood ,speaking out of rage ,and did not want to be bothered. I would suggest to you next time give them space ,when they are heated. Be sure to stay out of there line of fire.

Ps. I would try to contact the person after they cool ,or just wait until they contact you to see if they trulry ment what they said.

Well I think you have done what you could; now you have to leave it; see if he does make contact with you; if not: LET IT BE.

It might be difficult; but do not make matters worse by making contact;

Best wishes and lots of SMILES

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I sent this man a letter admitting to the fact that going to his job was a wrong and stupid move on my part and I knew that was the cause of him blowing up. i also told him that i was very sorry for doing this and that the best i could hope for was that he accept the apology. i also went on to say that if anything he did say implied he never wanted to see me again that i would have noby else to blame for his decision. It was my stupidity that caused the scene. At the end I wrote that if ever the day came that he wanted to change his mind that he knew how to find me. And I wished him and his family nothing but the best and sent off to him.

TELLULAH agony auntIf you did nothing wrong, then I would do what they said, and then find someone new with better manners.

Of course if you deserved it then thats different, and you should let them calm down.

I suggest you wait and see; don't contact the person;that might make it worse; like putting petrol on a fire.

I suggest give the person time to cool off;

If in a few weeks you have not heard from the person; maybe send a text to apologise if you did something wrong; otherwise leave it and let it be.

Best wishes and lots of SMILES

Sounds pretty final to me, but why not ask them when they've cooled down?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (17 July 2008):

No. But I guess it depends on the context and the extent of their anger. What did you do for this person to say that? If you did something terrible then its possible that things may never be the same.

But if you two are really good friends or lovers or something like that, and they were just annoyed, perhaps cause you were nagging them, or something harmless, then just leave them alone and wait till they cool off. They'll come around.

A guy I was dating awhile ago said something similar to me. He had done something that bothered me, and I got pissed off and started nagging him, and he told me to "back off" (in other words to drop it and leave him alone). So I did. And he ended up calling again a couple days later.

So just respect his/her wishes and just leave them alone.
