[2025 河北省阶段调研检测] Best friend forever (BFF). We drew these words on our hands with markers and ink when we were kids. Most people I knew had at least one person they considered their BFF. Perhaps we imagined we would attend each other's weddings, meet each other's kids, and go on vacation to Antarctica together someday.
These simple understandings of friendships are naturally challenged as we grow. It does appear that the number of long - term friendships is decreasing. As opposed to the ideal of lifelong friendships, more and more friendships seem limited in time. Sometimes, it is as simple as losing contact. With more people working remotely and fewer "third spaces" existing in the community, we see each other less, which can lead to losing touch. That was the primary reason why individuals tended to drift apart from their friendships in the past.
Another reason may be less tolerance (容忍) for conflict. In decades past, it seemed that friendships were expected to wax and wane. Most of these were not the end of the friendship. Today, there seems to be much less tolerance. We are quicker to shut someone out or label them "toxic", even when the friendship might be valuable to us.
Social media trends have certainly sent a message that cutting someone off when they aren't making you feel good is a positive thing to do. Yet is this always the case?
There is a natural cycle in relationships involving the connection, break, and repair. Relationship expert John Gottman has identified this reconnection as perhaps the most important part of the cycle because conflict is inevitable and can ultimately bring us closer. In friendships, we get close (connect), have times of conflict (break), and then work through that conflict through a reconnection (repair). Otherwise, the friendship ends and more and more, it seems friendships are ending before repair is given any possibility.
Continuing a friendship through conflict can also help us learn things about ourselves that can be difficult to face, and enhance our lives. When we repeatedly disconnect from people who tell us things we don't want to hear, we risk getting self - enclosed.
If you are looking to build capacities for repair, turn to essential skills that require practice.
