Steps
-
1Stand up and break the ice. If you want to apologize, don't start out with, "I know it's your fault but..." since it makes things worse. It means you're putting the blame on her. Don't act desperate either, that's just shows her you can't be without her. Try asking what's wrong, or what the problem is. If she doesn't want to talk, then give her some time. Then once she's ready, ask her. If you think she's totally overreacting, try making her laugh and talk out your problems.

2Avoid fighting over the same boy. Boys are not worth risking your friendship. If she knows and tries to make it a competition, ignore her. She'll realize you're not going to go that far. If she gets mad at you because you like him, say something like "Other girls could like him too, so don't get mad at me for liking him!" That works roughly half of the time. So if that doesn't work, be creative, because boys aren't worth risking friendship, especially if it's your best friend.

3If you are somehow getting separated, or losing trust in her, don't think that's the end of your friendship. And don't think if you give her time she'll grow further apart from you. Give her time to breathe or hang out with other friends. Best friends need some time apart from each other sometimes. Then once you feel you want to go back hanging out with her, tell her. Maybe she'll understand.
Tips
- Don't be rude when confronting her - that only makes things worse!
Warnings
- The term "best friend" is a title, so don't think if it's over your life is over. Try looking for another best friend, and remember - always take it slow.
