What should I do if I'm in the middle of 2 of my friends hating eachother? I'm kinda in the middle xx
Hey, thanks for asking 💛 Being stuck in the middle of two friends who aren’t getting along is really tough and it’s normal to feel unsure about what to do
Here are some tips that might help you feel a bit more in control:
👉 Let both friends know you care about them and don’t want to take sides – you’re allowed to stay neutral
👉 Try not to pass messages or get dragged into arguments – it’s okay to say “I don’t really want to get in the middle”
👉 If it feels right, you could gently encourage them to talk it out – but only if you feel safe and comfortable doing that
👉 Take care of your own wellbeing – it’s okay to hang back from the drama and focus on people who make you feel calm and included
👉 Talk to someone you trust if it starts to feel overwhelming – you don’t have to carry it all alone
You’re doing your best in a hard situation, and it’s okay to protect your peace while still being a good friend to both people 💗
