In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you aren't talking to each other, someone will have to make the first move. Let it be you this time! It will show them that you want to be friends again and you're serious about resolving things. Think about how you can reach them. Depending on the person and the severity of your argument, you may need to try a few different ways to get in touch. If they won't answer your phone call, leave a voicemail saying you really want to fix things, then text them with a similar message. If they block your texts, email them. If your email is ignored, try to communicate with a private message through social media. If all else fails, you can try visiting them in person at their house. Reach out once and wait for a response before trying to reach them a different way. You don't want to make them feel harassed or pressured. If they agree to meet you via text or email, it may be best to meet in a mutual, public place so that neither of you feels intimidated or under pressure. If your friend refuses to see or speak with you, or if visiting them in person isn't an option, you may want to just back off for a while. Your friend wants space and that should be respected. Use the time to reflect on the situation and prepare what you want to say. Don't push your friend if it's clear they want space. It will only upset them and make them frustrated with you. Explain what you feel is the problem and be honest about it. Then ask them to do the same. Let them talk for as long as they need to. Really listen and don't interrupt them. This way, you both get to tell your side of the story and get everything out on the table. Express your feelings without using inflammatory or accusatory words. For example, instead of saying, "You made a really dumb decision," ask your friend, "Why did you decide to do that? I'm having trouble understanding." This will prevent blame from being thrown around and create a more peaceful tone while you talk. For example, instead of saying "You were a selfish jerk," say something like, "I felt like you didn't care about my feelings, and I felt really hurt by the things you said." Even if you didn't do anything and you believe the situation is their fault, opening with an apology sets the tone. You could say, "I'm really sorry things have gotten to this point. I want things to be better between us." If you did wrong them in some way, apologize to them sincerely. If they apologize to you, accept their apology graciously. It's important that you don't say or do anything hurtful during this conversation. This will only further damage the friendship, and it may make things irreparable. Do your best to keep things peaceful. If things get heated, don't allow them to escalate. For example, if your friend says to you, "I just can't believe you did that to me! I will never trust you again!" you can say something like, "I know, it was a really dumb thing for me to do. I am so sorry. I want to make things right, please tell me how I can do that."
Summary: Be the one to reach out before the other. Get in touch with them however you can. Respect your friend's need for space. Talk about the problem honestly and openly. Use "I" statements when talking to them. Apologize to them and accept their apology. Avoid restarting an argument.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a wooden drying rack or another type of rack to hang the sausages up to dry. Drape them over the rack at every other twist so that the links hang down but don't touch. Let them dry for an hour and a half. Sterilize a needle by heating it over a flame, and use it to prick each sausage where you see an air bubble. This lets out any air that is trapped inside and flattens the casing against the meat. Place the sausages in a container in the refrigerator overnight so that the flavors continue to meld. After eight or so hours, the sausages are ready to eat. Cook them within one week, or freeze them for up to several months before eating.
Summary: Hang the sausage to dry. Pop the air bubbles. Store the sausages.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Though it may be difficult to see in the moment, you're ultimately setting yourself up for greater happiness and fulfillment in future relationships by ending an unhealthy one. You recognized that the previous relationship was unhealthy and unfulfilling, and you made the right decision to get out of it. Once you move on from the hurt, you'll feel happier, more vibrant, and you'll open yourself to the better relationship that you deserve. Up to this point you've done an excellent job pinpointing what it is you do not want from your relationship. But it's equally important to figure out what it is you do want. This will help you avoid falling into the same one-sided relationship all over again. Remember that people tend to operate based on patterns, whether conscious or subconscious. If you have a history of one-sided relationships in your life, step back and look at why you choose that type of relationship, and what keeps you unwilling or unable to break that pattern. Make a written list of the ideal characteristics and qualities you want in a relationship. Then make a separate written list of the things you did not like about your previous one-sided relationship. Compare these two lists and see if perhaps something from your desired list crosses over or could lead to something from your undesirable list. If you're recovering from a relationship in which you were not loved or respected, you may have internalized a lot of the suffering that stemmed from that relationship. Perhaps you might even doubt the fact that you deserve to be happy. But the truth is you do deserve to be happy - everyone does. And you also deserve someone who will make you feel good about yourself. The other person's unwillingness to love you and their treatment of you are reflections on that person's shortcomings, not on you. Everyone should have energizing/uplifting people in their lives, but if you're coming out of an unloving relationship that need is even more important. Surround yourself with supportive and uplifting friends, and distance yourself from anyone else in your life whose affection or friendship is not reciprocal. When you do feel ready to build a new relationship, you should likewise seek out someone who makes you feel energized and uplifted. That kind of support and affirmation is important, and should not be taken for granted as you move on from your unhealthy relationship.
Summary:
Look forward to the future. Decide what you want. Remember that you deserve happiness. Seek out energizing and uplifting people.
