I did NOT add this picture. Apparently GAG likes to control others questions.

a healthy debate, disagreement or even difference of opinion can be healthy and make a friendship stronger yes, however if those debates, disagreements or differences of opinions become aggressive or toxic and hurtful things were said in anger
then it becomes just like any relationship
it whittles down and breaks

[winterfox10]

It really depends on the way the friends handle the argument. Some people fight dirty, and that will never strengthen anything.

[notatrap]

Disagreements or a difference of opinion are perfectly okay if they are resolved quickly. Finding resolution in those disgruntled moments is when its most important. Leaving after too many heated or awkward fights can break a bond, better to find common ground

If you are going through a weird stage, or have a rocky relationship with that person.. or many people, try really listening and changing your reply.. "Live your life through a love perspective." -Tai Sju
Choose when to agree but if you choose your battles, you'll learn more about yourself and begin to see how much time and damage you're saving yourself or that person from starting a fight.
Good luck

I'd say yes. You can measure how strong your friendship is when you fight and still be friends at the end of the day. My bestfriend had a fight for a couple of times but it's all good. I honestly think those times made our bond stronger.
Meanwhile, fake friends would easily give up on the situation instead of mending it (unless someone betrayed the other, thats another issue).

Small ones yes. I relate it to steam pipes and how they release pressure in small doses. Big fights will have big after effects. So several small ones are most likely better.

Also, in relationships, it’s usually the small shit that pushes buttons. “You left the toothpaste out again!” Shout it out, fuck like bunnies and resume life.

[ItsTheNephilim]

As long as they are reasonable and are handled with respect, yes.

Depends on many factors. Me and my best friend/roommate has never gotten into a real fight. We've been friends for 8 years and roommates for 4! My sister is also kinda my best friend and we fight often, but talk it out after.

[AzureGirl]

I would say no. Communication is what makes a relationship stronger. Not fighting.

[Kinogo]

To a healthy level I think it does cause what is a relationship (romantic or not) without some level of conflict.

[Iamagoodguy]

A argument is from a place of emotions usually negative ones
Fights are the same
So nah they make the weaker

Disagreements tho don't mean anything bad

[Laozi]

Sometimes it does. But sometimes it breaks the friendship.

[Anonymous]

No, opposite in my opinion.

And can anyone give those girls in pic sandwich each, before they collapse?

[crack21]

Arguments are healthy, dont you argue with your parents and siblings?

[AlongCameCindy]

Not mine, kind of in most peoples relationships I’d say seems to drift mine.

[ohshee]

If it's done right it does

[jamesgoldman]

No... I have few friends but we never fight

[Zoi02]

Depends how they handle it.

[Furuok]

Is separate beds a problem for you?

[Joe_Barbaro]

Yeah, in the same way wars make peace stronger.

[littleblack]

Because it is a process to know each other

[virginmike3]

We had sex with other guys
