Let the argument simmer for a while, da leaving it alone, and avoiding communication. If te talk right after the fight, many things are detto out of anger. However, do not wait too long as allowing bad feelings to brew for too long creates a situation that becomes più difficult to make up. So after the fight calms down, make sure te talk to the person before its too late. After te do that, sit down and say your sorry if te the one who caused the fight. Even if it was the other persons fault, just take the blame so te will make up sooner than later.
