I am in that exact situation now.  I have 2 groups of close friends that hate each other and are constantly bitching about each other to me, who's stuck in the middle.  I deal with it by telling them I get on with all of them and I won't listen to them bitching about each other cos it is seriously annoying.  It's a hard spot to be in but if you get on with them all you have to stay on the fence.

Your free to be friends with who you want. If they are really your friends they will both respect your decision to remain friends even if they are not.

Do you have opinions of your own? Stick with your friend. You don't make friends for political purposes. You be true to the people who are true to you. Loyalty. \nNo one wants to be friends with the person who keeps on ditching their friends.

this is a very hard situation to be in believe me i know how you feel! my two best friends hate eachother too! one is a cheerleader and the other is a music buff and hates cheerleaders! i tell them both that i don't want in the middle of their little cat fights and they actually don't put me in that situation. if you're really their best friend, they won't make you sit through that kind of stuff. mine actually don't have a problem with eachother if i'm around with them both. every now and then i get into conflicts with one saying i'm paying more attention to the other but i just ignore that fact. what can i do, i have more classes with the cheerleader than i do with the music buff. just make sure they know you don't want anything to do with their little fights and they should let you out of their fights. it may take a little while, especially if they get into a huge argument! they might expect you to choose sides, but don't do it. stay strong and stick up for yourself! let them know who's boss in your life lol! i hope this helps and wish you luck!

This isn't going to be easy but maybe slow things down enough until you feel it is a good time to let them know that things aren't working out. Usually when you start doing this they come to realize that there is something going on and maybe take it upon themself to walk away. Sometimes friends need to just be friends at a distance. It does sound like you don't want any part of them, so it's better to be nice about it so you won't be feeling guilty.

you should'nt forced yourself to be friend with someone you don't liked. Your bestfriend would understand if he care for u.

I believe we have the right to distance ourselves from people, and situations that cause negativities in our lives.  We are are at liberty to purge our lives with anything that is harmful to our well being - physically, emotionally and spiritually. It may be difficult because the more you feel you need your friends the more they will (or seem to) behave that way. Sometimes even the most cherished friendships have to end.  They have served their purpose and it's time to move on to better things. I've been in your situation several times before and I did just that.  Now I realize that I have very little in common with these friends. I was just trying to fit in.

I think you made an excellent choice.  Good friends are hard to come by, and it has been my experience that they usually come in single digits.  I used to be a "group girl", had my clique etc., and I thought having a lot of friends was worth it.  I'd ignore the backstabbing and hurtful remarks.  Then I realized that I'd rather have one good, true, caring friend than a bunch of people that (in all honesty) barely knew me or cared about me.  So now I have just that, and my life (socially, spirtually, physically, you name it) has never been better.  My best friend has helped me to love myself and picks me up when I've had a bad day.  The "group" could care less...unless I happened to suddenly be a little more popular than them for some reason or another.  A lot of their antagonizing was jealously for one thing or the other, and that is probably your case as well.  Good luck with the future, and there's no doubt in my mind you'll find someone(s) worth your time. :)

is this group is a good one? I mean, are they good friend of u (truly friends)? If that so, why don't u ask them why they don't want u close to those person. if they have strong reason for that (ex. those person are junkies, etc), then just follow it. \n\nbut if they don't have good reason, ask urself, do u really want to be a part of a group who don't want to socialize with person outside the group just because ur group don't like that person? \n\nbe true to urself, do u feel comfortable with it?

Let your two friends deal with it themselves. When a friend gets in the middle of two other friends, bad things usually happen, the least of which that one or more of the friends are friends no longer.\n\nJust stay out of it.

You will come across these kinds of people for the rest of your life.  I live my life very guarded and am very particular about who my friends are.  I use the rule that I keep people at a distance, enjoy their company but don't confide in them about anything personal.  After a while you tend to weed out the ones that you know won't be there for you if you need them or will stab you in the back the minute you walk away.  Don't let this slight your judgment in the future on seeking out companionship....just be a little more cautious!

If any of your enemies do it, they could ruin some friendships.

I'm with these people, you dont have to be picking between friends. If they dont like the other people you like thats something they have to deal with Not you. Unless they work something out amongs themselves they need to grow up and stop the kiddy games.

Both are mandatory. Ignoring each of them may cause a tragedy but it depends on the kind of people involved and what they are looking for in a relation.

Stay away from the both of them, find a new friend, or just pick one of them.
