Did you ever fight with your close friend? Did you patch up? If so how?

Those days I was very sensitive. Once my friend called me silly. She also used that word in a light way and never really meant it. I got angry and stopped talking to her. Next day she herself came to me and said she did not mean it and said sorry. But now I feel I should have taken it sportively. But I appreciate my friend in not making it big as we shared a good friendship later. If she did not patch up, I would not have obtained a good friendship. Did you at any time fight with your close friend? Did you patch up with your friend? If so how did you patch up?

The most bad deed that one can do to a friend is talking behind her/his back as in putting a friend down,that's bridge of trust.Happens a lot of time and I hate it.I don't confront or fight openly,I just keep quiet for awhile.Let the time heals and then I just shrugged it off and forgive especially if I know that she/he wants to patch up..

I remember that day very clearly when I had a quarrel with my bast friend, and she started crying. I never wanted to hurt her but cant control my anger. But after seeing her cry like that, I was very sad and said sorry at that bery time.Apologised for that and everything became normal.

I always fight with my close friend....there are whole lot of instant that we even beat each other....but sooner or later one of us will say sorry or sometimes don't even have to say sorry...we just meet look at each other and laugh at what we did and then we start allover again...but it is never that we stop talking.

Yes, I had experienced fighting with one of my close friends. WE were friends back when we were in high school and even when she went to Japan to work there, she used to call me very often through cellphone. She even gave me a lot of presents and chocolates when she came back here. We really had so much fun before that we even share some clothes. She is also the girlfriend of the brother of my boyfriend and it happened that we had misunderstanding with her boyfriend. One day, it suddenly happened that we no longer communicate with each other. We don't even talk when we are in the same place. That was really bad and until now, we are still having this so-called cold war. Honestly, I didn't know the exact reason for that but I guess I don't want to know about it anymore.

It is sad your good friendship has ended there. May be you could have at least made an effort to know the reason so that mind will be calm and satisfied.

i have fought with my friends before and we always make up. sometimes it might take a couple of days but we always make up. thats what real freinds do. i don't like to fight with my them though so i try not too. i can't remember the last time i did fight with one.. or let alone anyone for that matter lol i am a lover not fighter.
its best to just talk things out and see how one another is feeling. sometimes a fight is nothing but a misunderstanding. so talk things out

Very correctly you have put up things. You are right friend. Fights are mostly misunderstandings. If we talk together, it gets solved.

In fact close friends will have good memories on each other in their hearts. So we have to think that this person has done this good to me that help to me. He behaved so well on these occasions and why I should make this silly thing big. This way the issues will fizzle out.

I fought with my best friend and that too on a silly issue.Later we realized it was really foolish to fight on such issues which really don't have any importance.Many times we fight to satisfy our ego instead of understanding whether the issue is important or not.So if you fight with your close friend be first to apologize because these small things should not come in between you in a bigger part of life.happy mylotting

What you said is very correct. Small things should not come in the way of bigger part of life.

OMG YES! My best friend and I have gotten into it so many times. I want to say that our arguements are like a reason for us to make up! lol. Bc we turn around and we havea few shots and then talk about how stupid it was. We are almost like a couple! lol. its crazy to explain but we will do a various amount of things to make up! lol. Our favorite is drink though!

As long as the fight is not serious and you are able to patch up, it is ok. It is difficult to find good and sincere friends. Never let the friendship go for silly reasons. Enjoy good friendship friend.

Actually, yes. I used to be really close friends with someone until eventually I couldn't stand their attitude. What would happen was that she would get mad at every little stupid thing. It depended on the second whether she was happy/mad/sad, etc. Even if you tried being a good friend and ask what was wrong you got snapped at.
I eventually couldn't stand the constant attitude problems. She thought that I shouldn't take it serious and if she's mad it will blow over. But really who is really going to sit there and take a crappy attitude from someone who is just going to hurt your overall mood of the day. She also asked me to just tell her when she gets that way as she didn't realize it. So I don't speak to her anymore as it was way to much work and wasn't worth my time. She now has no friends because no one likes the way she treats people and she is obvilivous to the situation and thinks its not her but others.
Sucks people don't wake up and smell the roses even when you spell out the problem to them.

I have before, it sucks! Especially because me and my best friend are both crazy stubborn. So it took a long time for one of us to come forward. I think the first blow out we had was over boys, of course, what else? Anyways, she was being really sleazy and going after every guy I liked just because I liked them. Then I found out that my boyfriend cheated on me with her. I went freakin nuts. Obviously. We didn't talk for like 2 months I think. Then finally one day we are at this party and this girl we both hated was being rather not nice to me, and my friend came and stood up for me, we ended up bashing the girl really bad, which made her cry. This was hilarious to us, and we laughed about it, and made up. We try not to fight over guys anymore, but theres still the odd time something will go down.

That was quite interesting. I am happy you both forgot your fight and became friends like before. I am proud of your friend that she came in support of you when you had problem. That is real friendship.

I write a poem for you. Rest is for you to decide.
Dear Mai2boies take it to mind
That true friends are hard to find
When you find someone true
Never change them for someone new
Got my point?

I never really fight with my friends, I think it's too easy to fight something out and have it all taken the wrong way, losing an important friendship in the process
I do, however, sometimes take a time out from talking to a friend if they've behaved in a way that's bothered me. Not to punish them, just to give myself enough distance to put myself in their shoes and realise not to take it personally

You have a very matured way of dealing with people hanabella. This is really good. You never want to loose friendship, this way you understood the importance of good friendship. You keep a distance not to be away from the friend but to make self-analysis to understand your friend's position well. This means you do not have ego that you are only right and you want to know your friend's point of view. This is a big quality for any one. It gives me pleasure to see a good heart/soul amongst selfish and egoistic people. God bless you.

I'm in a fight with one of my ex-best friends right now, as we speak. It's over something really stupid, but we haven't talked in a YEAR as a result. I'm a stubborn person, in fact, much to stubborn to actually apologise (I don't feel like I'm in the wrong anyway). I tell myself that this is just meant to be.

On this Valentines Day, why not talk freely from the heart to your best friend and try to settle issues? Let the Valentines Day be a unifier between you both best friends.

quarrel with close friend is normal because both of you dare to raise up any uncertainties. maybe you can say sorry to your close friend. it is always better to have more friends than enemy. i think you would not want to lost your close friend too.

Never. I never wish to loose my close friend. It is difficult to get understanding friends. That was my teenage. I behaved that way. But not later.

Hi Buchi_bulla, I am also sensitive. I dont use words recklessly. Friendship to me means complete understanding of another person's pain. So naturally I look for sensitive souls. I've been lucky I had good friends. They stood by me but there came a point in my life where I couldnt maintain their standards. I know they would have gladly helped. But I chose to deliberately disconnent, hoping I would return to them when things got better. Now I dont really know where they are. :) Girls do get married and change their names, dont they? Even the house where my best friend lived is sold. So I guess, we were destined to be this way. Oh! I have many good friends though. I can call quite a few of them my best friends. Because I'd lost such good friends I am very cautious about losing friends. 2009 goes into my memory as an year in which I helped a friend and got abused for it. So I keep some cushion between being utterly gullible and utterly distrustful. :) Luckily, I also found plenty of reliable mylotters. So you could say god consoled me.

Even I did not keep in touch with my friends of school and college for which I really repent now. Sometimes a craving comes in me to see them immediately. But due to my foolishness, I do not know where they are. As you told, marriage may change their name and their place of living. Where to find out and how to find out? At least youngsters will meet through social net working sites. But not many of my aged people are members in these sites leave alone whether they are active in it or not.

I have a friend who do not like to wait. So, this one time, I suppose to meet her and I was late. When I arrived, I apologised but she looked at me and just walked off. I felt really upset because she did not give me a chance to explain. Well, I ignored and did not talk to her for a few days, even at work. After some time, she was her own self again and we just kind of patch up again.

Some people behave funny sometimes. Then on their own they will come back to terms. I attended my neighbour's house warming ceremony. We were neighbours for 27 years and I shifted my house few months back. She did not talk to me in the function. I felt very bad as I travelled so much distance to attend her house warming ceremony. After sometime I met her in a market. She herself came to me and talked to me. They why did she ignore me on that day? God only knows.

the i read your discussion i remember my best friend. we used to call each other "bez" we our classmate on our college days. then we also work in one company, we really treat each other like a sister. we even eat in one plate. but one day came out and our closeness seems to be ended that time. my boyfriend and my best friend had s_x. i broke up with my boy friend and my best friend resigned. after a year we had a chance to meet again when i got a call that her mom passed away. i visited her. we didnt talked what happened to us. but i can say that you can fixed such things but its not the same as before..

If the problem is big, then it will not be normal after patching up. For the sake of keeping company, we will be friends. The nicities would have gone. If the matter is a small and silly one, then we can be normal.
