One of the most important lessons I learned in my life.
Sometimes you or other people do bad things. Most of the time either without intention or because of wrong assumptions that only make these things seem wrong when resolved. Often, especially if you are the culprit, it even leads to a feeling of shame that can be mortifying.
If you go out and try to make them right, it's almost always better.
Confront people with it. Try to be the bigger person about it.
You don't have to be an asshole while doing so, but ignoring things is the kind of behavior that leads to getting people to talk bad about you behind your back, not doing the stuff you overlooked in the first place.
