Ways good friendships die: Think ahead before you land into a world of regret. Being best friends with someone is like having a twin that you can share all your secrets, interests, and clothes with; someone who is like a carbon copy of you (hello, double trouble). It doesn’t matter if you’ve known each other since kindergarten or met in college, when the two of you are together, you’re unstoppable.

Of course, just like any relationship, there can be some bumps in the road along the way, but because you two are so close, you tend to get over these rough patches pretty easily.
Unfortunately, there will be times when you and your BFF have totally differing views about something that can start a full-on argument.
It doesn’t matter if it’s about guys, makeup, or other friends, sometimes these kinds of arguments can RUIN friendships. So, how do you get past these tough times?
Well, you can always apologize to each other (duh), but sometimes, apologizing isn’t enough. Sometimes, you really need to show your BFF that a silly little argument isn’t going to break your bond as friends.
We can often forget that while our best friends know what we’re like, they can still get offended or upset by things we say or do. By not taking the time to save your friendship when things turn sour, what you’re really doing is telling her that she doesn’t mean that much to you.
When you know the two of you have something really great going on, you’re going to do all you can to make sure it stays that way, amirite?
Don’t sweat it too much if you’re in a hard place with your BFF right now because there is always a way to fix things.
It can be hard to know just how friendship dies, but if you try to avoid these obvious no-nos, you can save yourself the heartache of losing your best friend.
1. You criticize her flaws.
Sorry ladies, but unfortunately Beyoncé is the only one in this world who’s flawless. But that doesn’t mean you should criticize anyone (especially your best friend) for who she is or what she looks like. The same goes for nitpicking your own flaws in front of your BFF, making her feel even worse about herself; talk about a sh*tty way to knock her confidence down.
There’s a reason this girl is your best friend and it isn’t just because the two of you love margaritas and karaoke. Treat her like the rock star she is by building up her confidence when she needs it the most (she already knows she’s hot stuff any other time). Make her feel loved BECAUSE of her flaws, not in spite of them.
