When faced with a conflict between others, most of us are more
inclined to walk away from the situation than to become involved. If we
do allow ourselves to become a participant, it is usually by adopting
the position of one at the expense of the other. Of course, such
behavior does little to resolve the dispute and may in fact exacerbate
the problem. But when you make a genuine attempt to help resolve the
situation, you should not be surprised if you’re the only one.
We are all complex individuals with feelings and emotions we often don’t
fully understand. Sometimes the mere involvement of a disinterested
party is enough to help resolve the dispute. Make sure, though, if you
are the one in the middle that you don’t allow yourself to get into a
position where you must choose between the desires of one person over
the other. Work toward a compromise that best suits everyone’s
interests.
