Fighting with friends is tough all around. We often say things we don't mean and feelings get hurt. Occasionally, no one wants to admit they were wrong and no one wants to apologize; it seems as though the situation is beyond repair. There are many ways to resolve conflicts with friends. Here are some things you can do to start down the road to conflict resolution.
Step 1
Calm down. No one thinks rationally when emotionally worked up. Give yourself time to calm down before even thinking of the subject of the conflict again.
Step 2
Give each other respect. Without first respecting your friend, it is unlikely that the conflict will be resolved amicably.
Step 3
Give each other space. When the conflict has become too heated, walk away.
Step 4
Give each other time. Time to cool off will help all parties involved think things over in a rational manner.
