Male Female

So some time ago, I gave advice to my best friend. We have a friend group of maybe four or five people, and we all have a really good relationship and trust each other. But sometimes we have arguments. She had an argument with one of our friends about the fact that she was ignoring her or the situation or something like that. I don't really remember now, but she talked to me about it, and I told her that first of all, she should talk to her. Ask her what the deal may be and if she has hurt her feelings in some way. If she says no, it's fine, then ask her if there is another problem. Maybe it's her, or maybe she doesn't want to talk to you anymore. If nothing happens, just act the same way she acts towards you. No one will judge you because everyone will understand that if one person doesn't really want to talk to you, you shouldn't really try. It will just ruin everyone's relationship. You should just stay in a nice relationship, not the close ones, but just keep it as it is. The advice I gave was quite helpful because everything resolved itself, and now they're talking much more and are much closer than they were before.

But sometimes we have some arguments, so she had an argument with one of our friends about the fact that she was ignoring her or the station or something like that. I don’t really remember now, but she talked to me about that and I told her that talk to her, first of all you should talk to her. And ask her what the deal may be if you’ve heard her feelings in some way. And then if she will tell you no it’s fine, then ask her maybe there is another problem, maybe it’s her, maybe you don’t want to talk to me anymore. And if nothing happens, just act in the same way as she acts to you. No one will judge you because everyone will understand that if one person doesn’t really want to talk to you, you shouldn’t really try. Because it will just ruin everyone’s relationship. You should just stay in a nice relationship, not the close ones, but just stay like it is.
