Send a message to repair a strained relationship

Reach out to someone you've drifted apart from after a disagreement.

Why it helps

Distance after conflict can become permanent through silence. A short, humble message can reopen the door.

How to do it

1. Choose one relationship worth repairing.
2. Write 'I've been thinking about us and I'd like to talk when you're ready.'
3. Send and give them time.

Make it easier

Say only that you miss them.

Make it harder

Suggest a meeting.

Don't pressure; accept it if they need more time.
