Tips to Revive a Friendship

Everyone experiences a friendship fade（逐渐消逝） from time to time. Maybe you've come around and want to see an old disagreement resolved, or simply want to get close to your old friend. Fortunately, there are some useful tips for you to show your interest in reconnecting and begin the process of rebuilding a friendship.

       You should always be respectful when interacting with other people, and all the more when interacting with friends. One of the surest ways to show that you respect someone is by listening in attention during conversation. In order to understand what a friend is feeling or thinking, try to consider your friendship from their perspective.

Whatever the context of your friendship now, you undoubtedly have positive memories from experiences you shared together in the past. Recall some of the enjoyable moments you spent together, particularly those that might get you laughing together again.

       Notice that this step comes after apologizing. Not only do you need to forgive a friend that you hope to continue having a relationship with, you need to forgive them even if they don't apologize. If you and a friend are not fully able to resolve an issue, you still may be able to have an amicable friendship.

Know that even when a friendship is rekindled, especially after a long period of time, it will likely not feel exactly as it had before. Even if it's harder to share your lives with one another, you can still value each other's friendship – you may just have to accept the fact that you won't get as much time together as you'd like.

Nor will every friendship stay the same. For that matter, no friendship will ever be perfect. More importantly, the context of your relationships with other human beings will change, perhaps out of the blue.
