everyone makes mistakes. so its only to be expected that sooner or later a friend will do or say something that hurts you. we're all imperfect, and we're going to rub one another the wrong way one in a while. if i had it all to do again, i would not have expected perfection from our friendship. i would listened more and supported her and not magnified her flaws.,i understand now that what makes a successful friendship is working trough the test and challenges., do you think its too late to realized me this way? i love my best friend, she's like a sister's of mind., how mend a friendship? please give some advices., thanks.,

I agree, everyone makes mistakes and that we're all imperfect. But most of the times we do forget these realities when we are facing them yet. We still have the tendency to seek perfection from ourselves and from others. And realized things after the damage have been done already. The mistake you had done was not realizing her worth earlier on, you made a mistake because you're imperfect also so as your best friend. Now that you realized that both of you are imperfect, then you should realize then that it will be very perfect to have the both imperfects together! Whatever the cause of losing your best friend, I am sure it will be healed in time. Don't be scared to show her you are imperfect also, so she will realize that you are compatible to each other, lol. happy mylotting!

That's good to know! Life itself is not perfect, so please be perfectly understanding that humans are perfectly imperfect, that includes you and your bestfriend!

I think all you have to do is talk. Say what you have to say and say sorry if you have too. I think most friendships encounter rough times but once you talk it will be okay. Me and my friends argue sometimes and I tell her what I do not like about her and at times she will tell me. But when one is angry make sure that the other is not. Sometimes when I am angry with her (for being late) I will pinch her (and nag haha) and then she would treat me and it is okay. I think friendships who went through this becomes harder to break. I think if she can read what you wrote here she will forgive you.

yap i know., i think this is the right time for us., if we want to talk the past then we talk about it., but if she said forget it, then i forget., what is important now is to continue our friendship what we have started before., and now much mature and much stronger relationship.,

Friendship is something we all seek in life as no man is an island. But friendship is indeed complicated and you might be surprised to discover that friendship can give you a world of happiness and at the same time steal your hope away. I am no guru to give you the answers to this dilemma but keeping one of your friends as your best friend needs a lot of patience to see the continuity of the friendship till the end of time. There should be a give and take and any little misunderstandings should not become a sore in the relationship.

yes i know, but we already learn to our mistakes., we are mature enough now compare during our adolescence. why i say this, because we already go through some different trial and failure of life, and because of this we already learn to our mistakes., and what is the good thing here, is when we continue to our friendship i know this time, nobody can separated between us.,

Hi Cherwin, Go back to your friend and tell her you're sorry,tell her that you want to be best friends again. At least you will have tried and then it is up to her what happens next. I wish you well. Blessings.

Sweetie, it all depends on what caused the things that have hurt both of you. Friends are there to be caring, loving and supportive. But you will have those days when you get on each others nerves. It happens, thats human. Just talk to her and try to resolve this problem. I am sure that both of you will have a very good laugh about this. TATA.

maybe its a matter of misunderstanding., i think your right., its just a long time since we've meet, and now is the time to talk., i know what was happened last was already a past during of our young-aged., i think we are mature enough to learn our own mistakes and fix those happy memories that we shared when we are still young., thank for your advices., God Bless!

we have different formula in friendship... it will be tested through adversary and challenges, it will be measure to what degree your friendship has been through. I have friends like we are sisters, if we have some misunderstanding and hurting, we usually keep quiet and let day passed without seeing each other, And when we are ready to see each other again, then it means we are back for good as if nothing happen... No explanation, no reminiscence Silence or "ceasefire" means forgive and forget.

Just tell her what you have told us and ask for forgiveness. If she finds how much you truly value her the friendship maybe repaired.

Maybe you could talk to your friend the sooner the better. There was this friend of mine now working in other countries. We had a misunderstanding. She admitted it was her fault but I ignore her. Now it's a regret for me that I did not even talk to her because of anger. I did not know she was leaving the country. We have no communication now. So what can I suggest to you is settle your misunderstanding explaining your side and listen to her explanation as well.
