Even if we are close to each other, there are times where we are going to bicker from time to time. Which can lead to a spirited discussion and can be a good thing if we don't get too offended and don't take things too personally. Still friends are going to disagree and potentially have a slight argument. It is not the end of the world. In fact if our friendship is truly strong, disagreeing won't shatter in. In fact it could make it stronger in a sense, as it will lead for us with an understanding.

I agree. Friends don't often have these petty arguments but best friends do. They will always have differences and argue often until they are well adjusted with one another. This helps in building any type of relationship.

Yep. Plus, when you get comfortable with someone, it entitles you to show your true colors. That's how I find it to be. Of course, not everyone can cope up with your negative side, and best friends will always have to go through that rough phase in order for them to adjust.

It is really going to be true. It is all about a building exercise to say the very least. All about building that level of trust, the level that will allow us to be the best of friends. Really that is not much more to it, other than we will come out with a better understanding about each other. If nothing else, that is going to facilitate a friendship that is long lasting. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

I agree! It's the same principle with people who are brother and sister. Don't worry about you and your friend's relationship. Those disagreements are what make you yourself while you are with your friend.

Very well said. We're not going to agree on everything in life, whether we would be friends or family. Really that is something that would make life boring when you really think about it. We are going to be our own unique people, with our own unique situation. Disagreements will happen but that is going to make us stronger in the end. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Yes, definitely so! Each of us is an individual with our own choices and likings and cognition. We make friends with people with similar likings but two people cannot exactly be like each other. As in all strong relations, giving space and respecting each other’s choices and opinion, is important to keep a friendship going.

Indeed respect is the common word. We need to have respect for other people. Regardless of what they might think, and there will be times where we are going to have some rather key disagreements. However that is rather okay. It is just something that is a part of life. Something that really enriches our life. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

hi megamatt!
agree with you about this one. even the best of friends can and will have disagreements. nothing wrong with that as long as both friends accept and respect each others differences.
its common that we become friends with people that share the same interest and likes with us. however, differences can also make a friendship interesting. for a friendship to succeed, lets celebrate our similarities and differences alike!
cheers!!!

It can in fact make a friendship to be rather interesting. As long as the disagreements are not something that is too insane and too often. We have to have some kind of common ground but there will be differences. We can respect those differences, learn from them, and life will be mostly good. A balance can make life interesting. It's what makes life, life. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Indeed we are never going to be perfect. That is just the way life tends to be. There are times where within our imperfections, we just have to respect everyone around us and really enjoy a lot out of life. There are just a lot of times where we are going to be at odds with people, but rather grow from it, rather than be stunted by it. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

a true friend will look out for the other person especailly if they they will hurt themselves or get hurt or do a stupid thing. Arguements do happen but learning to get over the hurleds and still talk and be there for that person is what friendship is all about. Freinds will let her friend drive drunk or if dress is not right on her to tell her try soemthing else or the makeup too if it is heavy etc...
Also a true friend will be there one person is terminally ill and needs to taken care of etc...
Thanks and have a great night

True friendship will endure most arguments for sure. There are just a lot of times where its going to be a rather tight situation and it is going be tense. But once we get past that argument, there are going to be a lot of times where in the end, we are going to really be a lot stronger, with a better understanding. Yet sometimes it is looking out for our best interests, even though we don't realize it at the time. Thanks for responding. It's appreciated. Have a nice day.

It's dificult to go through life without having disagreements with someone. even when you are the closest of friends and confidants, this can still happen. it doesn't mean that you don't care for that person. you just won't always habe the same opinion about something.@megamatt (14292)

Very true, we are not going to have the same opinion on something for sure. There are going to be a lot of times where we are gong to have a few tense words. Tense words that can get the ball rolling down the hill to potentially a full blown argument. It is really just something that is bound to happen sooner or later. In fact, it tends to make the relationship stronger. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Yes I do agree that even the best of friends have disagreements. In fact I would want a true friend to be constructive with criticism because it will allow me to not be embarrassed perhaps later but someone cruel. There may be a flow of argue-mental moments but knowing it is a true friend will somehow brings us to a medium.

Constructive criticism can really tend to penetrate our thick skulls a lot better when it is coming from someone that we know for sure. There are times where we reach that point and they are able to pull ourselves together. Sure it might be tense for a moment but if the friendship is true and we can pull through it, then so much the better. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Hello megamatt,
I knew my best friend for 7 years now and we have never had any type of argument we are pretty much a like and agree on most things. Everyone has always said that one day we will eventualy argue and maybe fight but I don't see that ever happening.

Indeed there are sometimes where we are going to be blessed to be on the same length. I have had some friends where I have never had a cross word on. There are others where I have rather butted heads with time to time. There are just many times where you don't know what might happen, until it really does happen. Hopefully the friendship endures if we have to deal with that. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.
