Sometimes we have a fight with a friend. Many times, you find that you even forgot what the fight was about. You just seemed to argue, and then stop talking to each other. Time goes by and you realize that you miss the friendship, and wished you could talk to your friend again. It is possible, and they probably feel the same way as you do. Someone has to take the initiative, and it might as well be you!
Steps:
  • Let the argument simmer for a while, by leaving it alone, and avoiding communication. If you talk right after the fight, many things are said out of anger. However, do not wait too long as allowing bad feelings to brew for too long creates a situation that becomes more difficult to make up. So after the fight calms down, make sure you talk to the person before its too late.
  • Take time to reconsider if this person is really a friend if you're constantly in fights and always making up first.
  • Reflect on what you may have done. Read past emails, chats ect. This will help you understand thier point of view.
  • Give in and apologize. The other person probably wants to do it too, but it shows that you're a courageous and dedicated friend.

Tips:

  • True friends are hard to find and keep. Remember this. You will meet many friends in life, but only perhaps one will be true and sincere.

Warnings:

  • When the disagreement was too hurtful, if your words or actions were too damaging, a friend might just not want to make up with you.
  • If you had been disloyal, and did not reveal your true desire to continue a friendship, then think it over, and never say or do these things again.
  • Avoid accusing the friend, if you accuse them it gives them more reason to fight back.
  • True friends are hard to find and keep. Remember this. You will meet many friends in life, but only perhaps one will be true and sincere.
