Friends and how are they a conflict of interest?

Category: Friends

In the line of life you will make friends and you will lose touch with friends. I have met many wonderful people through some of my really good friends and being the person I am have developed wonderful friendships with those people. The problem I run into is when you have friends that end up beefing. You then are trying not to be torn between the two as you get both sides of the puzzle and also trying not to take sides with either. Now if someone asks or somebody seems to fall out of line and they ask me for my opinion I will tell them what I think but I have always tried to make it a point that if someone in the group of friends is mad, to not just decide to be mad right along with them. Especially if the situation technically has nothing to do with me. I want to be there to comfort both sides if necessary but don't want to look as though I am being a traitor because I am choosing to be an adult and maintaining the friendship that I have invested in emotionally with both friends.I often get to a point where I have to say I don't want to know because the more false or accurate information you obtain from both sides you will naturally get your feelings and opinions flowing against one of your friends if not both. The point of this is I don't understand why some people expect you to dismiss one friend because they are beefing with them. That is yo biz so that means you need to handle it not me. I am simply here to be a shoulder, maybe some advice, and a good friend to you in the time of need not your alliance in the midst of war between you as my friend and my other friend.
