As you age, it can be harder to find new friends, but it can be even harder to reconnect with old friends with whom you parted ways at some point.
But psychologists are sure that it is possible to restore relationships if you follow certain recommendations.
The first step is considered the most difficult.
You should write to an old friend on social networks, mention that you have recently thought about him, and also ask how he is doing. The interest should be sincere. Do not immediately change the subject.
If an interesting and active conversation starts, this is a good sign, but if the response is cold and monosyllabic answers or ignoring, then it is not worth continuing.
The second step involves getting to know the person again and setting up a meeting. It is worth considering that live communication is always different from correspondence and even video calls.
If the dialogue is easy in the future and there is no discomfort, then the meetings should be repeated more often.
But you should be prepared for an unpleasant conversation in order to answer the question of why communication was interrupted at some point.
