arise from jealousy, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings Identifying common sources of conflict can help individuals be proactive in preventing conflicts and resolving them when they arise  Strategies for resolving conflict Effective strategies for resolving conflict include active listening, problem-solving, compromise, and negotiation Active listening involves actively listening to the other person's perspective and feelings without interrupting or judging Problem-solving involves working collaboratively to find a mutually beneficial solution  Dealing with disagreements

stay in touch, scheduling regular catch-up calls or video chats, and making the effort to visit each other whenever possible By making an effort to stay connected despite the distance, friendships can

married, having children, or moving to a new city can have a significant impact on friendships It can be difficult to adjust to these changes, especially if they impact the amount of time and energy that can be devoted to maintaining the friendship However, open communication and a willingness to adapt can help overcome these challenges By discussing how life changes are impacting friendships and making an effort to adapt to these changes, friendships can endure  Misunderstandings and disagreements Misunderstandings and disagreements can also present challenges in friendships It is natural for friends to have differences in opinions, values, and beliefs However, disagreements can cause tension and strain on the friendship It is important to address misunderstandings and disagreements constructively and respectfully This involves active listening, acknowledging the other person's perspective, and avoiding negative behaviors such as blaming or attacking By working through

From this story, we also want to give some recommendations to develop and maintain a healthy friendship, especially with young people today 18
