I do not expect the friendship back. That will not happen. Is there a subtle way to give something back to people who I embarassed and let down without giving them them any obligations towards me?
Saying sorry is lame and totally inadequite given the circumstances and places of my disgraceful behaviour.
A sincere apology, followed by new behavior goes a long way.
