Question

Help answer this question below.

Ive fallen out with one of my friends over something and I can't see us reconciling our friendship. Wehave a lot of mutual friends, so now at most social gatherings we either make a scene or one of us avoids going. How can we make things civil between us?

    Communication is the key.
    Have a chat with your X friend and call a truce.
    Let bygones be bygones.
    And move on.

    In the words of Skynard, "I aint hidin' from nobody, aint no one hidin' from me. That's the way it's supposed to be."
    My advise; Do everything in your power to make sure that you can say the same without any reserve.
    What was it that caused the fall out over?

    You two need to accept the fact that you're not friends anymore. And also one of you needs to be the better person to walk away from making a scene. You can't just stop going places because your enemy is there. Make the best of it, smile and say hello. Looking at her with disgust and having the urge to yell at her and make her feel like dirt or whatever you feel in your stomach, will only make you look like the fool for letting her get under your skin. While you may of had a nice friendship before, it's different now. And either time will make you two forgive each other & get over it, or you both will just do things out of spite, and the hate will build up. Just stop. Be aquantances {sp?}. There isn't a law saying you had to be friends, or even talk/look at eachother.

    I know it can be really hard to just forget about something like this when that other person will be everywhere with mutal friends. But you need to just let it go. My best friend is really great friends with my EX best friend. I don't like her much, but I don't make a big deal when we all hang out. I just act nice toward her and semi-ignore her. We both secretly hate eachother, but we refuse to make a scene in front of others because that really is immature. Everyone knows we don't like each other. But instead of putting them on the spot to where they feel they can't put us both in the same room; we deal with it. I'm am fine with being in the same room as her, and I am also fine with my friends being good friends with her.

    Thats a hard one. Well , ive had a slight experience with this but it wasn't actually me it was my friend.
    She used to hang out with a group of people i know but she had a problem with her best friend. She kept getting ditched and eventually she couldnt take anymore of it and apparently [i wasnt there] had a huge fight . Now the group is kind of split and everyone is one one side or the other. She wanted to sort things out so she got a bit of help from her friends and they sorted it out. They are not best friends but thinghs are civil between and they talk to each other again.
    Now im not being sexist but i think you will agree that SOME girls can be much more bitchy than boys . So im not sure if this story helps you much.
    Either way, What im trying to say is that if you really are determined to patch things up, show it and a little help from your friends is no harm.
    Hope this helps
