Misunderstandings can happen between friends. If you don't want to lose your friends because of misunderstandings that can be taken care of, you'd better solve them quickly. Below are some tips that you can have a try.

Know the cause of the problem.

The first step in knowing how to solve a misunderstanding between friends is to find the cause of it.  But remind yourself that you must be open to the results if the fault lies in you. And you must be willing to apologize and make up for it.

When you want to talk to your friend, make sure you're doing it at a suitable moment. It can help solve the misunderstanding more effectively. For example, you can't talk to your friend about it if he or she has other pressing problems. Finding a private and calm place to talk about it is a must as well.

Control your emotions.

Before solving the misunderstanding with your friend, you'd better learn how to control your emotions. Discussing it with strong negative emotions won't lead to a good result. It may cause the problem to become more complicated (复杂的).

Be a good listener.

As a friend, you should be a good listener. Not only do you have to listen to your friends talk about the troubles in their lives, but you also must be willing to listen to all the things that they may not like about you.  It can help you understand them. Then, it will be easier for you to get over a problem together.

A. Change your viewpoint.

B. Find the right time and place.

C. Worse still, it could result in new misunderstandings.

D. This is a good thing as long as you keep an open mind.

E. Once you know it, you can start to look for the right solutions.

F. And avoid dealing with the matter when you're both in high spirits.

G. Your friends will be more likely to realize their mistakes and correct them.
