We have been friends for 8 months, we work together and had a small falling out over a work issue. I felt she didnt show any room for our status as friends in the way she addressed the issue and reacted accordingly. It was probably the wrong way to react. We discussed the work issue and put it to rest, Now she has gone very cold on our friendship. I want to repair things but when I approach her to talk about it, she just said it was personal. We were great friends but now we hardly even can look at each other without it being uncomfortable. I know this is the classic work/friendship clashing thing and we had no "rules" on how to deal with this type of thing if it occured. We have both done/said hurtful things but it is up setting that such a small trivial thing appears to have cost us a blossoming friendship. Any advice on what I could do to mend this?

Let her know you are truly sorry for what happened. Then back off. Time usually heals all wounds, so she may come back around. If not, chalk it up as a learning experience and move on.

Focus as much as you can on work to keep your mind off things. She may come around when things settle into a more comfortable place in her mind. Try to let her do this without pushing or you'll just push her away further.

You should take care of it the "childish" way.Meet up, write down what it was that was between you causing the rift on paper, Burn the paper and shake hands and hug and promise to never let that issure cause a problem between you again. Sounds stupid I know but its effective.

8 months is not a long friendship.......you were still learning who the other was...
the sign of real frienship is one who accepts your good with your bad and the fact that you will make mistakes and you sometimes not agree............Does she sound like a friend?
Try again ...if it doesn't work take it as the learning experience is has offered.

Nothing.
Do nothing and let time fix it.
