Friendships go through rough patches from time to time. As humans,

it’s normal to sometimes disagree with friends.

However, friendships can be tricky and they can be broken in an

instant if you don’t maintain them or keep the lines of communication
open but don’t worry! It is never too late to get your friend back.

So today I’m sharing how to get a friend back after you hurt them.
No, this is not the kind of hurt where the friendship has ended
permanently.

We’re talking more like one of those situations where someone did
something really wrong but it wasn’t out of malice or with bad
intentions. So let’s share how to get get back into friendship mode.

It is important to revive relationships from the past.

One of the worst arguments I ever got into with a friend was due to
miscommunication on both of our parts. It was my bachelorette
weekend and I felt very little effort was taken into planning it.

My friend felt I was unappreciative.

We both said things we shouldn’t have said. If you want to start over
or get your friend back, this guide will help you figure out the steps
you need when it comes to how to get a friend back after you hurt
them including my own personal experience.

 3 Ways to Win Your Friend Back After
You’ve Hurt Them

1. Acknowledge what happened

Some people get into arguments and pretend it never happened.
Acting like a situation never happened may work for some but it
doesn’t help prevent the situation from ever occurring again.

It’s doesn’t allow both parties to understand each other. It doesn’t

help both parties understand what went wrong and how to improve in
the future so it doesn’t occur again.

Acknowledge what happened, first. Don’t ignore it. Don’t act like it
never happened. Don’t suppress it. Acknowledge the situation for
what it is.
 

2. Apologize to your friend

Second, you’ll need to apologize to your friend for what happened.
An apology isn’t about making excuses or playing the blame game;
it’s simply expressing regret.

So make sure, to be honest with yourself when thinking about how

you’ve wronged them and accept responsibility for any part you had
in breaking up the friendship.

It’s not just enough that they know that you’re sorry, but also that
they feel like you understand where they’re coming from. An effective
apology can immediately clear the air and set the tone for rekindling
friendship conditions again.

If your friendship was broken due to something that happened a

while ago, then apologize and explain that you didn’t think it was
relevant anymore but you’ll do whatever is necessary for them to no
longer feel hurt despite the time that has passed.

If your friendship is just starting to sour, then apologize for whatever

went wrong and ask them what would help them forgive you.

3. Make time for some friendship activities

Once your apology has been accepted, make time for the friendship
and activities. Perhaps going out to eat, going to a duo paint night, or
something that will allow you two to start rekindling your friendship.

I don’t suggest waiting around after the apology and not interacting
with each other because it may make the friendship problems worse.
Especially if they feel like you’re blowing them off or trying to brush
the issue under the rug.

It’s also important that you don’t use this excuse as a way of
avoiding friendship issues in general. Plan time to hang out, chat or
partake in friendship activities together.

If you’re seeing your friend more frequently, then that’s a good sign
that friendship conditions are headed in the right direction!
