Strengthening Friendships

[Urvashi]

Relationships with friends thrive on effort. How do you nurture friendships over time? What’s the best way to reconnect with old friends? How do you handle friend conflicts?

I nurture friendships by checking in regularly, celebrating their wins, and being present when they need support. To reconnect with old friends, I usually send a casual message recalling a shared memory. For conflicts, honest conversations and listening with empathy help rebuild trust.

If you have to apply effort to strengthen your friendship, I don't think that is a friendship. Friendship should built on your true self and naturally, and not requiring effort.

Avoid blaming, and instead, aim to find common ground and solutions that work for both of you. Remember to express your feelings using "I" statements and be willing to compromise.

For me, I strengthen friendships through constant meetings, communications and doing things together. I am more in sync with a person when I keep connecting. And those connections is what strengthens relationships for me.

There is nothing more strengthening in friendship than opening up emotionally and sharing all our insecurities, in addition to maintaining loyalty and trust, keeping secrets, etc. This will always strengthen the friendship, it always works, believe me.
