Navigating Friendship Issues: Understanding and Resolving Silent Treatment

Navigating Friendship Issues: Understanding and Resolving Silent Treatment Friendship Talk: HERE's how you can deal with your BFF who is ignoring you

One bond which is the most precious and strongest in the world is the bond of friendship. Relationships can come and go, but some friends stay forever. They are to celebrate with you in your good times, but also there to make you feel better in bad times. But sometimes due to some misunderstandings, your BFF stops talking to you. And the worst part is that can't even fathom what happened and why it happened. Your BFF doesn't want to clear the air and prefer to ignore you instead. 

 

If you are someone who is being ignored by your BFF, here are some ways to deal with your BFF who is ignoring you. You need to make them realise their worth in your life. And instead of being all tit for tat, try dealing with it by other better ways. And here's how you can do that. 

 

Call them time and again:

If your friend is not answering your calls and is ignoring your messages too, then try getting in touch via mails or SMS. If you’ve no clue why you’re being ignored, then you’ve every right to spam them and ask what the matter is. Avoid being creepy while doing so.

 

Request the other friend to intervene:

If your BFF is not ready to have a conversation with you, then ask your other friend to intervene. But this should be done only if the person truly knows you and your BFF. Ask them to play the messenger and tell them how bad you feel about being ignored by them.

 

Calm down and be polite:

When you manage to have a word with your BFF don't show signs of surprise, instead start a conversation you would normally start, when you were friends. Don’t show anger. Replace it with politeness.

 

Think through it:

After spamming, intervention and normal conversations don't work, sit back and recall your actions. Think about all the things you said to them. If it’s clear, you know what the problem is and can approach them to apologise.

 

Wait:

If you have tried everything, and nothing seems to work, then the best thing to do is to hold on. The ‘waiting’ sucks, but there’s nothing you can do since the other person isn’t retaliating. Let time pass, maybe they’ll get back in touch.

 

Make them jealous:

This one trick never fails. Try to get their attention by hanging out with new friends and post pictures on social media. They might get jealous and try to contact you.
