How to get over a friendship breakup?

Answer 1

That's really hard. My advise is to be as open and honest with each other as you can; and, if it's possible, to still be friends.

I was a cheerleader with him and he was my partner. I sat him down and talked to him, before he got a chance to drop me, and explained that I knew things weren't working out between us but we had to get over it. We stayed best friends.

Look for new girls and hook up with as many as you can. Its shallow but it works perfectly.

It depends if they hate you afterwards. If they do you don't really want to stay friends because they don't understand. The person I was with didn't hold anything against me and kept acting as normal.

I say that you should just ignore them. Don't give them the cold shoulder but don't talk to them unless they talk to you first. My best friend and I haven't had a conversation in about a month and a half. As time goes by, it gets easier. If you feel like crying, do it in private because keeping those emotions inside of you makes you more prone to doing something you will regret. Think about what your friend did to you. Are you willing to give them a second chance? I wouldn't advise it though because I gave my best friend many more chances and I caused myself unnecessary pain. What she did was very extreme though. If it's that extreme, definitely just ignore her/him. You might want to find a way to distract yourself for the first few days/weeks.

I would agree to keep yourself busy for the first few weeks, its the hardest. And don't act before you have REALLY thought about it; regret is never a good way to go. But I sure wouldn't isolate myself from him/her, or be trying to act like I'm alright when I am upset about it. It would also depend on how bad the break up was. If it were something completely uncalled for, as in something stupid, or mindless, or just being cruel to get back on a low level. It also depends on how you want to leave the relationship. Either in a good way (staying friends), or a bad way (as in like never talking to each other ever again). If your headed toward the good way, then start out acting like friends. It might be hard (if the break up was bad) but later, you wont regret keeping a friendship later on in life. But if your heading toward never talking to each other again, then trying not to talk. If you have to, that's just what happens. But I don't recommend doing that, losing a friend over a break up. It will be like World War 3 if your the one who is hurt the most and trying to keep the friendship afterward (same as if it were reversed). No matter where its going, just don't let your angry over come your decision. A feeling of hate is strong, but shouldn't be strong enough to destroy, ruin, and trash a saveable relation. If a second chance seems way too extreme for what happened then just stay as acquaintances.

You will have to make up your mind and realize that we all have these relationships that hurt when they're over. There's nothing you can do about being human. Once you have forgiven yourself for being human, and made up your mind that life is too short to dwell on the past, you will be on your way to the future and new things.

If I was you, I wouldn't leave this person alone until you got an apology out of him or her. Sometimes they will crack and just make up. If they don't, either you get an "I'm sorry", or you have a real reason to be mad at them and even "snitch" on them.

That is quite hard as you were best friends with them. I would probably leave them alone and make some new friends, this gives you the chance to make new friendships and step out of your comfort zone making new friends. Hope this helps :)

Best friends don't give up on each other so easily. There must have been something that triggered this off. I am not accusing you, but there could have been a misunderstanding about something going on which involves both of you. Even a comment about a boyfriend, family member can cause problems and your friend may just not say how hurt they are and fade away. I always stress communication between people because most of life's problems are based around the lack of communication skills. If a person does something wrong and realizes it they should apologize and hope like heck that person will forgive them. Saying "sorry" is never too late. I have a g/f I've known for 24 years (she's 20 years younger than me). We are like oil and water, yet our friendship is extremely strong. We can curse at each other, raise our voices to each other and disagree like crazy, but if anyone hurts the other we are like wild cats defending one another. Odd relationship! I finally realized why .... we are so much alike! Being so much alike we often clash, but still, we have been through good and bad together and when we get hot under the collar with each other we cool our heels by staying away for a couple of days and then pick up where we left off like nothing has happened. It's worth it! Please give it another week or two, then try to confront your friend by either phoning or going over to see her and start communicating. "Agree to disagree." Even if you don't like what she is saying, talk in a calm manner and express your own feelings. If she doesn't want to make the effort then she wasn't your best friend at all. Good luck Marcy

The best way to get over a broken friendship is to find away to mend it. I had a friend since i was 11 and we started arguing over a period ofvtime and then we finallyvsyoppef talking. We both moved to different towns which made it harder to makevfriends as wevdid not see each other. It was like this gor nearly 10 years and it always upset me. Then out of the blue she contacted me and I in turn sent a letter to her. We decided to meet up and now its like we never had that arguement. Make up - it is worth it!

Answer 5

Tell her you are really sad that you two are in a fight and tell her that you are sorry for what you did wrong and that you will never do it again. Make sure you don't tell her all this in front of other people because it may start a lot of gossip. If your friend wont forgive you, she doesn't know how you really feel. Ask her what she would think if she was in your position and what she would think of the person in her position. This may make her even madder but if she gets angrier, it's time to give her a while to calm down. It's your decision if you are still friends with her because you can still have a great friendship through all of this. If she forgives you at some point, don't be a jerk and tell her to go away because that is putting you where she was earlier in the fight. I hope you get your friend back soon!

Answer 6

appologize and say u never ment to hurt her...even if she hurt u b the bigger one

• Best friends will have disagreements throughout their relationship. It is best to wait a bit for things to cool off. Whether the argument is your fault or not it takes a bigger person to apologize to their friend as best friends are hard to come by and an argument is not worth losing that friendship over. As you remain together as best friends you will both mature more and become wiser and the petty arguments will become less.

Answer 7

If you really like that friend I hope you make the right decision to rebuild your friendship, even if u fought. :( I've had my fair share of fights with my best friend^^'. But if your friendship is sure kill over (DX) let by-gones be by-gones and have a new relationship just don't emotionally eat or try to avoid it. It might suddenly stab you in the back in the future, so solve it easily as to how I'm sorry but the only one that can answer that question is YOU. Here's a tip: don't sulk over it, make new memories, look ahead not behind you, because you might miss the door (When one door closes another one opens, but most people are so focused on the closed door that they miss their new path.) Trust me just don't overthink it and KEEP MOVING FORWARD! YOU'LL DEFINITELY GET OVER IT.
