Some friendships last longer romantic and can be more significant for humans. Friends help us cope with everyday difficulties and make difficult moments more tolerant. For the elderly, a close circle of friends, as scientific work shows, is associated with a longer life.
The presence of close friends may mean that you will have conflicts with them or even parting. At the same time, the gap with a friend can be as destructive for a person as a gap with a romantic partner.
A deeper connection with friends is when you express anxiety, sympathy, solidarity in relation to others. But this may not look like in a romantic relationship.
It is important to be able to manage your emotions. According to research, people with better emotional regulation are usually more popular, have more friends, and more successfully maintain long -term friendships.
If you quarreled with a friend and want to restore communication, then you need to be ready to forgive a person. This can depend on both your personality and on the type of misconduct with a friend. For example, active misconduct (physical skirmishes, insults, lies and gossip) are often perceived as more serious and more complicated for forgiveness than passive (inaction, not an apology).
Sometimes the conflict may be the result of the fact that you have outgrown this friendship. In this case, the best option for mental health will be released a person.
