You know your best friend has just messed up over a thing. but you still want to be polite about letting the person know. How best can you do this without being harsh?

I'd approach the situation with empathy and honesty, using 'I' statements to express my concerns. For example, 'Hey, I wanted to talk to you about what happened. I feel like maybe we could have done things differently. Can we discuss how we can grow from this experience together?' This approach focuses on my own feelings and thoughts, rather than attacking their actions, allowing us to have a constructive conversation and learn from the mistake together.

Take some time to calm down first, talking to them immediately it happens might make you sound harsh, and you might not be able to control your emotions at that moment.

If my friend is does something silly, I will not be afraid to reprimand. However, the friend in question should be someone close to me and understands me well
