How to Repair a Friendship

Video Transcript

"Hi are you struggling with how to repair a broken friendship? Well I'm Dr. Felicia and I have a few tips I'd like to share with you on that. For instance if you are trying to repair a broken friendship you certainly want to start with a phone call, try to get the person solicited in a conversation with you and you want to ask the person what it is that they think ended the friendship. What caused it. Now this takes a big person to do this so you have to be brave when you make this phone call. Now if the phone call is not effective and the person just hangs up on you or is still angry, of course the next best thing is to maybe get yourself a little gift, it could be something very inexpensive from a dollar store or something meaningful to that person, but it's just a token of a thought and you either send it in the mail or you can drop it to their door or put in in their mail box anything like that. And certainly they usually soften up with a little note inside and most people respond to a thoughtful gift. The next thing is if your gift is not in line for you perhaps you want to try a greeting card. Greeting cards are very effective and today they have many sayings that are effective for friendships but also you can try a blank greeting card and make the inside information writing more meaningful by putting down the actual thoughts of some event that the two of you shared that was very happy. That would certainly help you repair a broken friendship. Now either one of these realize on the fact that the other party is going to respond and if they don't respond you have to be prepared to take the next step what ever that may be for you. You may send a more lavish gift or you may try another communication such as email or some other mutual friend that can actually serve as an arbitrator between the two of you. So therefore you have several ways to mend and repair the broken friendship. So I do wish you good luck, this is Dr. Felicia, I hope this tips were helpful, I wish you good luck and God Bless."
