Mending a broken friendship

If you’ve just had a big fallout and are nursing a broken heart, don’t worry your head too much. There are various ways in which you can reconcile and move on.Take the first step: The worst thing you can do is let ego and pride get the better of you. Don’t wait for your friend to call or apologize. Pick up that phone and take the first step. A simple text message or call can act as a stepping-stone towards restoring your relationship.Forgive and forget: If you have been friends for long then find it in your heart to forgive and most importantly forget whatever reasons brought about the distance. Show them how much your friendship means to you and make a concerted effort to move beyond your differences.Move on from the past: Once you’ve made the choice of being together, do everything in your hands to sustain that love. By constantly going back on the past and mentioning it after every little argument, you will only make matters worse.Talk it out: Sit down and talk out whatever issues are bothering you. It’s important to verbally express out your issues once and for all. Don’t hold yourself back and let all your inhibitions and insecurities out once and for all, and remember that once they’re out of the way you shouldn’t dwell on them further.Remind yourself of the happy times: There’s a reason you were friends for so long. Remind yourself of all the happy moments and fun times that you’ve had together and focus your energies on restoring your relationship instead of the negatives.
