Detailed explanation-1: -Make a time to talk – When you’re both ready and calm, set a time to talk. Keep calm – Talk in a calm, quiet voice. Take a break if things get heated. Be present – Make eye contact, avoid interrupting and distractions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Things You Should Know Make it clear that you won’t take sides; let your friends know that their fighting is stressful for you, and you need some distance until it’s resolved. If your friends have just broken up, try to help them get over one another and make sure they know you’re still there for them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Being friends doesn’t mean you’ll never argue. Disagreeing can be a sign of a healthy relationship, especially if it’s done respectfully.

Detailed explanation-4: -After you apologize, let your friend talk. Listen carefully to what your friend has to say, and try not to be defensive when they tell you what they think about the fight. You might have done something to hurt or upset them that you don’t even realize. Share your thoughts about the argument.
