Is 100 times too much for a friend?

It is on the heavier side for a casual friendship — 50 may read as more proportionate. If you have genuinely let them down and it has been weighing on you, 100 is fine.

What if they do not reply?

Leave it. Friendships often resume without an explicit resolution. Chasing a response is more likely to end the friendship than the original mistake was.

Should I send this to a group of friends?

No. A repeated block in a group chat reads as a performance. Send it privately to the person you actually owe the apology to.

For them

Sorry 100 Times for a friend

Friendships rarely break over the mistake. They break over the apology that arrives six weeks late, or the one that arrives with a condition. The block is useful mainly because it is impossible to misread.

Quick answer

How do I say sorry 100 times to a friend?

Send the 100-line block below, then add one sentence in your own words that names the specific thing you are apologising for. With a friend, the sentence matters more than the block — the repetition shows you made an effort, but the sentence is what actually tells them you understood.

About 600 characters plain, ≈800 with an emoji on each line.
Use the same emoji on every line rather than mixing them.
One specific sentence underneath does more work than the block.

Why a friend is a different kind of apology

The specific risk with a friend is tone. Apologise too formally and it feels like a legal document; apologise too casually and it feels like you are not taking it seriously. A hundred repeated lines sits in a useful middle — it is clearly deliberate, and it contains nothing that could be read as sarcasm.

The other thing that matters with friends is timing. Adults are busy, and a late apology is often read as one made only when convenient. If you have been sitting on this, say so plainly in your sentence — "I should have sent this weeks ago" is worth more than pretending you only just noticed.

And keep the sentence light. Friendships usually survive the original mistake; they do not always survive an apology that turns into a heavy conversation nobody wanted to have.

Lines that work with a friend

One sentence, after the block. Change these until they sound like something you would actually say.

“I should have sent this weeks ago and I kept putting it off.”

For a delayed apology
“I was a bad friend about this and I knew it at the time.”

For letting them down
“I am not going to make this a big thing. I just wanted to say I got it wrong.”

For a low-key friendship
“No pressure to reply. I just did not want to leave it.”

If they have been quiet

Things that make it worse

Specific to a friend. Each of these reliably turns an apology into a second argument.

Making it so formal that it becomes awkward.
Adding "I know you have been busy too", which reframes it as a complaint.
Turning the apology into an invitation to a long conversation they did not ask for.
Bringing up the original disagreement again.
Sending it in a group chat.

If they have asked for space

A hundred lines is still a message, and sending it when someone has asked to be left alone is the opposite of what they asked for. Wait. The block will still be here, and it will land better in a day than it would right now.

Which count to use

Situation	Count	Why
A small mistake	50	Long enough to be deliberate, short enough to be read
Something that actually hurt them	100	The all-round choice
A repeat of the same mistake	500	The volume signals you know this is not the first time
Something serious	1,000	Reads as commitment rather than convenience

Counts above 1,000 stop fitting in most apps — see the 10,000 page for the delivery caveats.

Sorry 100 times for a friend — questions

Keep it light and keep it short. The block is deliberately repetitive and therefore hard to misread; your sentence underneath should be casual and name the thing without turning it into a formal conversation.
