Sorry for Being a Bad Friend Letter: Being a friend and standing by them when they go through hard times is the hardest part of friendship. You want to be there for your friends in need but you don’t know-how. Some friends push you away when you try to be friendly and just want to help them.
Some people just don’t know how to handle tough situations and thus are not able to help themselves, leaving no time for anyone else – especially their friends. If this is your friend’s case, it’s time to send an apology letter to him/her.
Sorry for Being a Bad Friend Letter
- So sorry for being a bad friend and not answering your calls or texts. I wanted to let you know that I never meant to hurt you and I will try harder to always be there for you like you always have been for me.
- I’m sorry for being a bad friend. I know that you have been there for me through so much and I have always taken you for granted. I will try my best to be there no matter what, even when times are tough.
- I have been a very bad friend to you other than our school assignments. I am sorry for being a bad friend and hope that you will forgive me. I promise to be a better friend.
- I feel like such a bad friend. I should have called you back or at least written you an e-mail. We haven’t talked in weeks and I miss hearing your voice. Just because you aren’t here doesn’t mean I should forget about you, so I would like to hear from you soon. Love always, [name]
- I know I have disappointed you and I am so sorry for that. I know that you deserve better and I am happy you are a part of my life. You are one of my best friends and I would like to thank you for the time we share.
- I know I haven’t been the best friend lately, but I just need to get this off my chest. You have always been there for me no matter what and I want you to know how much it means to me
- I’m sorry for not being a good friend. I want to be a great friend to you, and that’ll never happen as long as I keep doing what I’m doing today.
- I realize that I have not been the best friend since we started dating. I probably should have said something sooner, but I didn’t want to hurt you or make you angry.
- I hope you are doing well. I’m writing this letter because I just realized how distant I have become over the years. Other than an occasional Facebook message, you are a person that I don’t speak to anymore.
- I’m not sure what happened to us. Did I do something wrong? We were always such great friends, but we just got so distant recently. I miss the way we used to be when you texted me right away, and we would hang out all the time.
- Sorry for being a bad friend girl and not being there for you. I miss going out with you and all the fun we used to have. Let’s catch up soon, maybe in the next couple of weeks, ok? I hope all is well.
- Hope this finds you well, sorry for being a bad friend – I feel like we are drifting apart and don’t phone enough. I feel bad about this and hope we can get back to our old friendship.
- I miss hanging out with you and just wanted to say that I’m sorry for not making much time for you recently, but things should settle down now as classes are over and I won’t have as much work. Again, I’m sorry about neglecting our friendship.
- My dearest friend, listen to me when I say you have one of the best hearts out there. Your kindness is something that I don’t think enough people have. You are always so willing to lend a hand and your reassurance means the world to me.
- I can’t even begin to explain how much that hurts my heart. As a friend, I should have helped you through your problems and tried to comfort you in any way possible.
- you seem like you are down in the dumps and I feel bad for putting a burden on your shoulders. Please know that I’m there for you and want to help. If you need me I am here for you, anything for a friend.
- When you need a friend I am there for you. I don’t care if it is something dumb, let’s go out and have some fun! I might be the most annoying friend but there is a reason why people call me the life of the party. And by the way . . . I love you!
- I’m sorry for being a bad friend and not contacting you as much as I should. When I started school, I promised to stay in touch and I haven’t kept up my part of the deal. Life has been so busy that I forget how much time has passed with each day that goes by.
- I’m sorry for being a bad friend. But, I can’t help it. Ross is back in my life and things are wonderful. It’s easy to forgive and forget about the old times when everyone hated each other. It feels good to be back in the warmth of our friendship again; just like old times.
- I’m sorry for not being a good friend to you. I know this is late to say, but your friendship means a lot to me and I would like to be friends forever. You are like a brother to me. I didn’t realize it until now when we aren’t talking.
- I have been a bad friend. So busy. Work, college, and everything else. I miss you and want to spend time with you. You are such a good friend. I will make it up to you. We will get together soon and hang out.
- Hey, I just want to start by saying I’m sorry for being such a bad friend. These past couple of months I’ve been hard to get along with.. weird, yes. It’s been kind of hard to make friends here in London but don’t worry, it hasn’t affected my relationship with you or our sisterhood.
- Sorry for being a bad friend. It is not my intention to hurt your feelings. I promise you that I will work on it!

- You do not deserve this. I know it was a mistake and will never happen again. I’m so sorry that I let you down. I promise to be there for you in the future like I have always been.

- I should have asked you first, before inviting myself to that party. I apologize for disappearing the next day. Hope you had a wonderful time in celebration of our friend’s birthday! Love ya always and forever.
- I am so sorry for ignoring you. I was busy with my boyfriend and then I lost my phone. I was really really really really
- I’m sorry for everything. From the early years of you pestering me to play with you in the sandbox at recess to being an absolute jerk to you for several years because I didn’t want to associate with a boy.
- Dear friend, I must start this letter by saying I am truly sorry for being a bad friend. I have been too busy in my own life to notice your happiness and sadness. I neglected your needs and desires. For that, I am truly sorry with all of my heart.
- I am so sorry for being a bad friend, and I hope that you choose to forgive me. I was going through a tough time and I needed to be alone, but it has been such a long time since we have talked, and I miss you very much. My birthday is coming up and I promise that I will call you on that day.

- I am so sorry for being such a bad friend. I have been struggling with things in my personal life and have not been in my right mind lately. I have tried to keep whatever distance that I could, and now that I finally realized how much of an awful person I was being I felt like I needed to make this letter.
- I am sorry for being the worst friend. I know you’ve gone through a lot and I should have been there for you. I wasn’t and that was my mistake. We started so strong and I fell short, I hope you will forgive me!

- I’m sorry for not being a great friend to you these last few years. I’ve been so caught up in my own life that I didn’t realize I wasn’t there for you, no matter how hard you tried to tell me. I hope with all my heart that I’ve learned my lesson and that we can move forward with our friendship as strong as ever before.
- I’m so sorry. I know I’ve been a terrible friend lately and it kills me, but things have been really tough lately. If you don’t want to hear my excuses, then just know that they are there if you need them.
- Sorry for being a bad friend. I’m working on it. I’ve been trying some new things, like eating more vegetables and taking walks. I don’t want to be the worst friend ever anymore, because if you’re my best friend then I must be doing something wrong.
- I know I’ve been AWOL lately, but I just want to let you know that I love you very much and my thoughts are with you today.
