Be respectful. If you be respectful to them then there won’t be any arguments between you guys. They could get mad that your being rude and you’ll be mad at them for being mad at you and this will cause problems between you guys and you’re friendship wont last very long until you forgive each other so be respectful
Listen to them, if you listen to them it will show in your body language. if your listening you’d most likely nod and hum to their words and look at them, but if you’re not listening it will also show in your body language, such as zoning out, not looking, playing with something,being distracted it will show that you are not interested in what they have to say and this may cause an argument between you two and it will not end up being great for either of you especially if that person always listens to you then your in the wrong which leads me up to my other way of to avoid conflict.
take accountability to the situation. If you’re in a fight or an argument or your ghosting each other be the bigger person and take accountability of the fight. Especially if you’re in the wrong. But if they are obviously in the wrong and wont apologize, drop them, they aren’t worth your time.
Do not talk bad about your friends. I feel like this is an obvious one. If you have bad thoughts about that friends its best to not tell anyone about them especially if you’re telling someone that is close to the person you don’t like do not tell them. Your opinions on the person can change so it is better to just not say anything but if its eating your insides then write in your journal or diary.
