Friend Issues (I guess and what you can do about them)?

Whats up, y'all? So I have no idea how to write and there's probably going to be typos and stuff so... :) (Also, when I say "you" I don't mean to directly address you)
But anyway, I decided to attempt a writing about friend issues (not that I have them now but I've had some in the past). Oftentimes, issues arrive from misunderstandings or annoyances (even if you don't want to admit it) that have you with or of the person. Sometimes you can end up ignoring the problem and becoming an unstable relationship, blatantly exposing the problem and becoming "enemies", or you can begin to ignore each other.
When you ignore the problem and continue to be "friends", it usually doesn't end well. Both of you know there's an issue, and yet, choosing to ignore it is often a chosen solution. It leads to backstabbing and gossiping about each other, which is bad.
When the problem is blatantly spoken about, it is similar to gossiping and backstabbing and can lead to splits within friend groups. This leads to further aggression, which is also bad.
When the problem is ignored, the relationship and those involving each other becomes uncomfortable.
It is understandable that if a close friend does something to hurt your feelings, whether it was on purpose or not, that it carves a line of mistrust in your relationship. If the damage is bad enough and the relationship is already toxic enough, oftentimes cutting them out of your life is the best solution. However, if it still hurts but isn't completely damaging, it can be best to confront the problem and your friend in as peaceful a manner as possible. Telling your friend how it hurt or made you unhappy will hopefully have them considering to stop that habit or prevent the one time thing from happening again.
Okaaaay so this might not work for everyone but I hope it helped a little? Also I have no idea what I'm doing..... Have a nice day! No dying >:/
love this post! i have always said to everyone who comes to me with friendship or relationship problems that communication is the key to most problems- ignoring and ghosting someone only makes those problems fester more :))) you have a nice day too ♡´・ᴗ・`♡
