How to Mend a Broken Friendship

Video Transcript

"Hi are you struggling with how to mend a broken friendship? Well I'm Dr. Felicia and I have a few tips for you. Mending a broken friendship is not as difficult as you think, for instance whatever the reason the tiff occurred acknowledge that person's feelings in that particular instance. You may not agree with everything that happened but at least acknowledge that that's their feelings and you are accepting that. The next thing you might want to consider is getting a special package or a gift and it's something like this, just a little token, it doesn't have to be expensive, you can even get something thoughtful at a dollar store and you might slip it to them either at their door or you might send it to them or you might call up and meet them and say you have something special you'd like to exchange with them. It certainly tweaks their thought pattern and they might want to meet with you quicker. The other thing if your friend is really mad and more remote maybe not so easily to access you might try just a greeting card. Greeting cards certainly say a lot of messages or probably what's more meaningful is if you get a blank greeting card and then you can actually write in what it is your thoughts about that particular person. No one can resist a very sweet attempt to try to mend a friendship so I would strongly advise you to try either one of these, the gift or the card as a means of fixing that or mending that particular friendship but keep in mind, understand the other person's side and at least acknowledge it and then take it from there. It's not about right or wrong, it's about mending the friendship. I do wish you good luck, this is Dr. Felicia signing off God Bless."
