Every friendship, even the best of them, has predictable peaks and valleys but the low points can still threaten even a solid friendship. Perhaps, the friend who you were sure would be your best friend forever (BFF) is beginning to feel intrusive and grating on your nerves. Or your BFF has disappointed you, let you down big-time, or displayed an inexcusable lapse in judgment. It may even be something more subtle, yet equally serious: You’re seeing each other less and less, and you simply feel like you are drifting apart. What do you say? Many close friendships on the brink of disaster can be salvaged if friends are able to communicate openly and tell each other what’s bothering them. But it’s normal to feel awkward and tongue-tied about speaking up and talking about uncomfortable things; we all find it difficult to find the right words to say at the right time.
what do you say to your friend when...1) your friend asks too many personal or probing questions and is making you feel like you are on the witness stand??
2) your friend has had an irreconcilable tiff with a mutual friend??
"Misfortune shows those who are not really friends."
