Me and my sagittarius guy friend were talking about things that were bothering me then I said “why would you care? No one cares” but I didn’t mean to hurt him or anything I just wanted to be sure he cared but he got mad and doesn’t want to talk to me and he doesn’t want to say what made him mad it happened a few days ago but I really regret I said that and I really miss him so how can I say sorry and get him to forgive me?

Maybe I'm speaking for myself only but most of the time an apology isnt really necessary, I would rather someone just own it and move forward in a better direction.

I think you hurt him and made him feel unappreciated when you said that. This person obviously cares a great deal about your problems and is likely offended that you do not see that or apparently value that.

If it were me I'd probably appreciate you coming to me and saying something like "I was feeling bad for myself the other day when I said x, but I really value our friendship and appreciate you always being there for me and listening to me whine about my problems"

Bolding for emphasis.

In general, Sagittarians like a challenge, but they don't like to be tested. It feels disingenuous and insincere. If you want to know what we really think or how we really feel, ask us outright. "Hey, I just really want to know why you care about this, especially when it seems like no one else does." It comes off as more honest and genuine, which is incredibly important to us.

As far as apologizing, also have to advocate honesty. It would go a lot farther to say "I didn't mean to upset you, I was in a bad place and didn't realize how I was speaking to you, I should have been more up front with my feelings" than it would just to say sorry. And don't wait too long. The sooner you correct the communication, the better.

I personally don't like apologies, because they feel forced and if you apologize and do it again...I'm going to hold it against you, because you knew it was wrong the first time. I characterize tiffs as clashing of personalities. just don't lie or cheat on me because there is no coming back.... and if its a test. I might laugh it off as its no big deal.... just don't do it again... as I said previously.... you are f'ing with me and I don't like it.

+1. We may not show it, but things like that do hurt our feelings. He probably does a lot for you and to us our actions show we care. If you own it and apologize, he’ll let it slide but most likely he’s going to wait and let you approach him.
