1) Mistake: Try to fix the person. Solution: Ask the person if they want your help and the kind of assistance they wish to have. Some examples are to just listen, or tell them what you would do in their situation.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.abcarticledirectory.com/Article/21-Biggest-Mistakes-Friends-Make/65097"><DIV>
2) Mistake: Be impatient. Solution: Be patient. We all appreciate when others are patient with us.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.abcarticledirectory.com/Article/21-Biggest-Mistakes-Friends-Make/65097"><DIV>
3) Mistake: Be unforgiving. Solution: Forgive others when they blunder.

4) Mistake: Discount or judge the other person's feelings. Solution: Accept all their feelings and help them express them constructively.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.abcarticledirectory.com/Article/21-Biggest-Mistakes-Friends-Make/65097"><DIV>
5) Mistake: Take personally what your friend says. Solution: Understand that what people say or do is a reflection of them and not you.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.abcarticledirectory.com/Article/21-Biggest-Mistakes-Friends-Make/65097"><DIV>
6) Mistake: Be indifferent when they are upset. Solution: Comfort the other person when they are hurting by being compassionate and reassuring, listening, giving them a hug, etc.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.abcarticledirectory.com/Article/21-Biggest-Mistakes-Friends-Make/65097"><DIV>
7) Mistake: Tell people what to do.
