Relationship : 3 ways to repair your friendship

Hey everyone,

Welcome back to The Mindful Corner ~

We're talking about friendships today - it's been a while since relationships have been brought up. Today we are addressing issues to repair your friendship. If you're in a situation whereby you and your friend that "used" to be close is now someone you're barely speaking to over some awkward circumstances, I've got a few ways that might just do the trick to help you get back together.

True friends are never really separated at heart, they might be through distance but no matter what - friendships that are genuine and true are meant to last. 

It all starts with one person willing to take the effort to save the friendship. Whether it's long distance, or any reasons why you and that person fell out in this friendship, here are 3 ways that can help save it. :) 

If you're interested, just keep on reading ...

3 ways to save your friendship

1.)  Suck it up.

What I mean by that is not do it literally *hahaha* but more of having the courage to say 'I want this friendship to last & I want to fix it'. You'd be suprised by the amount of people does not have the courage to say such words to another human being. This is why its easier to break a friendship than to make one. So first rule of thumb, if you think it's worth saving the friendship, keep the ego & pride locked up in a closet - go out there and save your friendship.

2.) Make the effort.

Once you decide that the friendship is worth saving and that you really look forward to spending time, making memories with this person, it's time to make the effort . Whether it's having an open chat about the issue to resolve it or finding a way to move forward is always a good start. People appreciate genuine relationships no matter who they are, so at the end of the day - we're all human, so know that if you've tried & they don't seem to accept you back, then tbh - let them go. It's not worth it then but at least, you tried :)

3.)Clear the air.

Sometimes we tend to assume that the other person understands what we're going through - we're all guilty at assuming at some point in our life, it's where miscommunication happens and it's where the heart of the problem is. So clear the air between you and that person, and I bet you - it will definitely help rekindle that friendship.

So yes, it takes steps to heal or repair a relationship/ friendship so it all depends on how much you care for that person & how much do you want to see of that person going forward in your life. Once you've decided that, communication is all it takes. It's that easy!

So with that, I wish you all the best. Obviously realistically, there's more planning involved into these steps before you make the move but to help you realize that it isn't actually impossible - these are the 3 major ways to rekindle your friendship with someone.

So good luck, all the best & remember,

if your friend genuinely cares about you , this should work. If it doesn't and they still turn you down, most probably - they aren't worth it.

Good luck,

G
