How to Stop Fighting With Your Best Friend

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Find out exactly why are you arguing or fighting.

   Sometimes we end up fighting over really petty issues.
   
   We occasionally forget these issues and end up fighting over nothing. ,, Listen to your friend and ask your friend to listen to you. , View your behaviour from your friend's vantage point and take into account that he/she is your best friend.
   
   Try to change your way of behaving for the sake of your friendship.
   
   After all, you do not want to lose him/her forever. , If you are unable to reconcile immediately, then don't talk to your friend for a week or so.
   
   You will start missing him or her and that is the time to let your true feelings be known. ,,,, Don't try to make them jealous.
