every few months there’ll be like a breakup or a fight where i’m friends with both people involved and sometimes someone will come to me like “which side are you on” and its like… unless someone is getting abused i truly give zero shits, why is this something that’s expected of me

“friend A and friend B don’t mesh and want to stay away from each other” aight

why is this a crisis again

i kinda get it, i have RSD, when you fall out with one person it’s easy to be like “everyone i’ve ever met might know them somehow and suddenly hate me” but also like

you can just ask me “hey are we cool” and i’ll be like “yeah of course” and we can both save a ton of time avoiding the social labyrinth bullshit

i guess this is one of those things NTs think is terrifying and alien though, which sucks because it’s way more convenient
