I just read this quote and it’s what I always try to teach people.
You are not entitled to tell someone they should not feel bad about something, it is not up to you, all you can do is aknowledge it.
You don’t need to agree, feel the same, you just need to accept that the person in front of you, no matter the relationship, is different from you and takes things in a different way.
What can be done? Talk about. Explain calmly your intentions, what was your purpose, and that, of course, hurting someone was not your goal.
This means that if you care for that person, you must keep into consideration such feelings for the future.
