Advice On Women's Friendships:Tips For When and How To Make up and Break up.

Fighting is important in any relationship, but when two female friends have a blow out, mending the fence can be difficult. Here are step by step directions on how to do it:

MAKE UP

If you want to make up with a friend, it's sometimes hard to take the first step. Here are some tips on doing just that:

1. Call and say: Look, I'm sorry. Can we meet and talk? Chances are your friend is having the same thoughts you are, and hasn't been able to jump the hurdle and make the call that you did. Chances are you'll meet with a warm reception. And if you don't, at least you know where you stand.

2. E-mail and write: Still mad? Too mad to try and talk things over? The beauty of e-mail is that you don't run the risk of actually getting your friend on the telephone. Your friend can open the e-mail if and when he or she wants, and can respond after thinking it over.

3. Brutal honesty. Few people can or choose to notify a friend that they just don't want to spend any more time with them because their life has changed to the point that they no longer have time or enough in common with the friend. However, it is a way to let go of a friendship. Don't expect your friend to take this honesty well. Honesty can be painful to the person hearing it.

FRIENDS AFFECT HEALTH

People who are positive and make you feel good, and have similar goals in life (hopefully healthy ones), will make you feel good and will be good for your health. People who are negative, discouraging and make you feel bad, or have dissimilar goals in life will bring stress and anxiety into your life. Stress and anxiety affect your general wellbeing and you can become sick if the stress and anxiety become acute or chronic.
