If the friendship is important enough that you want to work on it, pray for them, pray for patience for yourself, and try to communicate with them. Do what you must (especially if you've already tried to diplomatically reason with/talk to them) to eliminate contact so that you don't fall into the never-ending cycle of throwing shade and subtweeting them.
