Awkward Situations

Something that comes up from time to time in my life is having a falling out with a friend who is also a friend of a friend.

Often times the person I had no falling out with wishes to not choose sides. That's fair, it's not their argument.

What they often don't realize is that sort of means they are choosing the other person because I will avoid situations where the person I had a falling out with will be present. All too often the person I am still friends with doesn't see any problem with inviting us both to social events and is hurt because I don't show up.

The second awkward part of this sort of situation is when the second person gabs and gabs about all the things they are doing with or talking about with the former friend.

I don't like awkward, so I tend to stop answering the phone and after a while I have lost two friends.
