Deal with conflicts. Weve all experienced bad experiences with even our closest friends. A while ago, all my friends, like, stopped talking to me. And that was really hard for me. Since were such close friends, we argue a lot because we spend so much time together. But usually, like, if have a disagreement, we might, like, blow up about it. So do you think you handled resolving the conflict well, or would you have wanted some advice on how to fix the situation . At first, i thought the issue was really bad, and i was very upset about it, but then once i started making new friends, i got over it really quickly, and i dont even think about it anymore. I think i handled it pretty well because were still really good friends today. We hang out a lot. So thats good. I wish i had, like, just a little bit of advice on, like, how to make it better, i think. Yeah. Getting into an argument is easy. Whats hard is preventing it or knowing how to resolve it before you damage your friendship. Advice.
