How to Make Peace With Your Friends

[Greeting]

It can be really hard to have disagreements or even big fights with your friends, but 
hope is not lost. Depending on the situation, there are ways to make peace and stay 
close if that’s what you want.


Apologize (even if it wasn’t your fault)

This might be one of the most challenging parts to making peace with your friends, but 
sometimes you just have to be the bigger person. Depending on what happened, you 
may need to be the one who apologizes, even if you don’t think you were at fault. 

I know this can be hard to accept, but apologizing creates a level playing field, and 
allows your friend to appreciate that you were willing to make this gesture. 


Find Some Common Ground

If it has been a while since you have talked to your friend, try to just find some common 
ground. This could be a topic you both agree on or something you both enjoy a lot. It 
gives you a reason to talk to your friend and start rebuilding that bond you once had. 


Don’t Try to Rush the Process

If you try to rush being as close as you once were, it might backfire and take even 
longer. Give your friend and yourself time to readjust to being together by talking 
casually, going for coffee or another no-stress activity. If they aren’t coming around, 
don’t push it, let them come to you at their own pace.
