How do i explain?

Talking about on here is easy but, I don't how to explain it on the outside. Will they understand that it wasn't my fault, I couldn't control my actions? Or does using my anxiety and saying that I wasn't well an excuse for the behaviour? Should I not say anything or should I be honest about having anxiety issues?

I just wished I knew where this person lived so that I could go and visit and speak in person. Just clear the air. I just don't want to ask anyone. Then maybe we could speak like adults and sort things out. Even if it was goodbye, at least it would be something. I wonder even if he read the last things I wrote to him or whether he just saw the name and didn't bother. It's hard cause even though we aren't friends on facebook, I still see his face through mutual friends posts and it reminds me of the hurt. I'm not going to try and contact for 3 months, hopefully by then, with a decent gap of no contact from me, then he will at least have the heart to say hello. Even if we can't go back to what we were, I still want to be civil and hold no hard feelings. I'm not the type of person who wants to hold grudges or that, I have been hurt so many times over the years by bullies, I don't like to hate.
Thanks CMf, it is so nice to have a new friend to talk to.

Princess Belle,
I have to say, you are holding yourself together a lot better than i did in your situation. If you can get past this really difficult time, when it hurts the most i think you will start to detach a little and be able to deal with whatever happens. Seeing him on others' social media just makes it harder. It's an awful feeling, i know, I've never been able to make a clean break. I know the feeling of just wanting to be given a chance, to show who you are or to explain things. It's heartbreaking.
I wish i could say something to ease the heartache but there are no words. I do want you to know however that you are not alone, I know and understand how you are feeling and in time it does get easier.
Hope today is a better day for you. Do you have any plans?

Hi Princess,
just checking in to see how you are going? Have your guests left as yet? Any other news?

Hi CMF,
Yeah things are better now. My guests did leave this morning. It was a bit awkward being alone with people who are my parents friends, but I got through. And at times, I did want to go and be alone, but I sat with them. It's nice to have room to breathe now.
As far as the issue with a certain friend, nothing in that boat yet, but I know of another close friend of his and I wrote to him, keeping it simple, but explained things and asked them if it was possible that they could have a kind word for me. I don't know if it was the right thing to do or not, but maybe having a kind of mediator, maybe the deadlock could be broken to some degree. Then we could either make up or I could have closure. Whether they do or not, time will tell.

Oh Princess,
that is great news, he responded. The fact that it was a 'thank you' is a bonus. He appreciated it, no matter how he feels he appreciated it.
wow, you've had a big day, I'm happy for you.
