It depends on the situation.

Re: When two friends fight

I'm usually the peace maker. Except with the two that are sisters. I try to stay out of that one, but I usually get dragged to one side. Chat Icon

Stay out of it. Neither will view a 3rd party as a "mediator" but each will feel that the 3rd party is siding with the other friend.

It depends entirely on the situation, and which friends.

Re: When two friends fight

I try to mediate until I can, but if it doesn't work I live it up to them.

Re: When two friends fight

It depends for me, too. It'd mostly not be my business to intervene, so I'd stay out of it... unless it's a HUGE fight that might end friendships, so I would probably try to mediate.

Re: When two friends fight

I've been the mediator several times in the past. In those cases - the girls fighting with each other didn't know certain things and when it was brought to thier attention in a non-combative way (me) it really helped clear up the reason for the fight. I don't side with anyone, I just try to present the situation in a way that's clear to both sides where they can resolve the difference. It really depends on the situation though, when I did step into two friends fighting - it was only because their fight would have ended up in the destruction of a friendship. Sometimes it's just things that seem very silly to those not involved, so I usually stay out of it when that's the case and let them figure it out on thier own

Re: When two friends fight

I think I try to mediate...especially if both are my good friends...and if I am not directly involved..
