Whether it's a friend, relative, acquaintance, or other. Say this person really said or did something to really upset you to the point of not speaking to them. Have they ever tried - successfully or not - to make good with you and win your association back? And in what way?

I have not gotten to the point of not speaking to anyone but, Yes, they tried to make good with me. They tried being polite and courteous.
I always forgive everyone, and yes they have come to me or called
me or emailed me
to say they were sorry and explain why they acted some way or to ask
me why I was shut down to them cuz they were oblivious.
(This doesn't happen anymore, btw...people don't do things that could
hurt my feelings anymore.)
I am nice to even a person that did a very bad thing (now)...I may not want
to hang out with them
bec now I see what kind of person they are and I choose/prefer not to
be around that.
This is a huge spiritual growth since I was raised to 'never forgive' and
that that was strength, 'to never forget'...grrr.
If you forgave you were weak.
No, he didn't. My brother is emotionally stunted and I became really tired of being his confidant and unofficial therapist. I did it for decades. I was really hoping that he would learn to appreciate people for what they are, but he never did.

Yes, some I have forgiven and tried to patch things up as best as possible. Other however, are simply unforgivable. The unforgivables had gone way beyond the point of no return, most of time those were violent or physical in some way. I have a very low tolerance for physical stuff.
