I've been having trouble with my friends. What are some tips for dealing with this?

1. Try to be understanding and open-minded. Don't jump to conclusions or make assumptions about their behavior.
2. Ask them what's going on in a non-confrontational way. Let them know that you care about them, and want to understand why they're acting the way they are.
3. Listen to their explanation without judgment, and try to come up with solutions together.
4. If possible, take time out of your day to hang out and talk things through. This can help clear the air and create an environment where everyone feels comfortable.
5. If the situation still isn't improving, then it might be best to limit contact until it does.
