Sometimes people avoid you because they know all the mean things they did to you. Their pride is too great to come and confess their sin to rebuild what was lost.
Until their pride is dealt with resuming the relationship just removes the necessary guilt that drives them to Christ.
When sin is superficially relieved with happy times as though nothing happened, nothing changes in ones character and nothing changes in the relationship.
God commanded confession to help one cleanse from the guilt. Even those who choose to justify their bad behavior rather than confess it, will live their entire lives under a cloud of guilt that they must continually fight with justification.
They may not think they feel guilty but their lack of courage in boldness shows they are harboring sin in the heart that could easily be expunged with a sincere confession of wrong and the desire to make things right.
The most miserable people in the world are those who attempt to cover up their mean actions by pretending to be kind in the next meeting.
Confession is the only means of complete removal of guilt.
