Well, if somebody isn't acting like his/her usual self, I think it's general courtesy to ask what's wrong with them. An answer is not needed, a simple "nothing I want to talk about now" is enough to postpone the conversation until everything is kind of sorted out with no friendships broken. Or also the affected individual can step forward and announce he/she is not in the mood, a decision that must be accepted as long as the affected individual pledges himself/herself to be available in the near future or by re-starting the conversation on their own.
Errors are better left in the past, all we can do is turn the page and move on. Our acts from there on will demonstrate if we've learnt the lesson, allowing us to regain any lost trust. The will to change for the better is not enough, the change must happen, otherwise it's just plain wordiness with no actual value.
Nobody is given infinite chances, so even if they aren't aware they're burning their chances the damage is done. There comes a time when enough is enough, and it's up to each person's patience to determine when does that time come. Still, everything can be cured through time and deep thinking as long as the above mentioned change occurs, because if nothing changes you cannot expect a different result.
