2. Report: First Draft

Many times in life, we argue with friends and although in most cases, the problem can be

solved in a short time, there are friendships that break in a painful way. If this has ever

happened to you or is happening to you, I recommend you read on. In the following lines, you

will find some practical and recommendable ways to know how to mediate a conflict

between close friends. Like listen, understand and fix

The main thing we must do to resolve conflicts between our friends is to be clear about the

real reason for their disagreement; once we know this, we can begin to look for the best ways

to help resolve the conflict between the parties involved. Also let them know that there are

ways to solve the problem. Some people have in mind that the only way to deal with

differences is through aggression and violence; they are not very tolerant of frustration. Talking

to each of them individually, you should explain what are the other ways to solve an existing

conflict. Ask your friends how they feel about the situation. This will give them a chance to

reflect on the behavior they are engaging in, and they will be more likely to realize their

mistakes and want to correct them. They will probably ask you for advice on how to resolve

the situation with the other people involved.

Even if it is not always said, it is important that you always remain impartial in your efforts to

reconcile the parties involved in the conflict. Otherwise, instead of calming things down

between your friends, you could further escalate the personal quarrel. The best thing to do is

to show them that you can accept each other's points of view without taking sides. Something

that is totally contrary to the intention we have to make our friends reconcile in a good way is

to try to do this process in a rushed and forced way. It is advisable to understand that your

friends may need some time to reflect on what may have happened. It is common that

during fights people only focus on the negative aspects of the other, and even magnify them.

Your role as a friend mediator of the conflict will be to recognize and diminish the biases that

exist between the parties involved, so that they can remember the positive things about each

other.

Finally, in the event that they have unsuccessfully tried everything in their power to keep their

friendship going, we must know that they will overcome their differences and resume their

friendship, we must accept their personal decisions and avoid taking an insistent stance on

making them change their minds. Each person is the owner of his or her own decisions, and

we must not forget that no one is obligated to continue investing efforts in a relationship,

whether it is a friendship, love or business relationship. While any conflict can technically come

to an end, that doesn't mean that striving for ultimate reconciliation is the best way to spend

your time.

In conclusion, if you have a problem with a friend, talk to him or her about what caused the

fight and how you feel about it so that you can talk about it. You can also take some

problem-solving steps to put an end to the conflict. If you're both very nervous or emotional,

taking a little distance may help you clear your head so you can reevaluate the situation.
