Hello, my friends! Starting from now on, I'm making 'Talk To Me' posts. But don't worry.
I will still post other things,too. Enjoy!
Today's TTM is about friendship conflicts. Surely, many people has conflicts.... especially friendship conflicts, right? Ok, I'll make an example.
Yesterday, my best friend argued with me about school's project ideas. She said , "As a best friend of yours, I'm also better than you. So, your ideas are worse and just not my style!.." and so on. (Okay, I will stop a while.I want to ask you guys. How do you feel if a best friend of yours judge you in horrible ways? Such as saying mean words to you? What will you do? * Let's continue) So, I replied, "Why did you say that? You know we could combine our ideas, right??". She thought for 5 seconds. Then she complained ," Well, of course I know that! I ain't stupid! But we must not combine our ideas! Let's just use my ideas instead! They are better!" "Why we must not combine our ideas?" I asked her. "Because your ideas are terrible.... If we combine yours with mine, probably we'll only get a C for our project! Now let's get to work!! Come on! Let's moveeee!" I tried to protest but I said to myself that I must keep calm.
So,50 minutes later, we were still writing 5 paragraphs for the project, while the teacher said we must make at least 8 paragraphs and present it in front of the whole class.And we only have 30 more minutes to finish. My best friend was very worried, " Oh no! It's only 30 minutes left!!! And my ideas aren't enough!! What should we doooo?????" I smiled and offered a piece of paper filled with my ideas to her. "Here. Let's just use my ideas to finish the project." "Fine! But if we get a C on this project, then it's your fault!!" she yelled as she grabbed the paper from me. At last , our project was finished. After the presentation, the teacher gave the students their scores. And our score was... A+!!
My best friend hugged me and said, "Thank you, my best friend! I'm really sorry for hurting your feelings and said that your ideas were terrible. But now I know that I was wrong." I smiled and replied, "It's fine. At least you know that you always can find a solution."
So, yeah. That was it. You know, not all friendship conflicts are easy to solve. Some are very difficult. But if you keep on trying to convince or remind someone such as your friends about good things or examples, maybe those conflicts could be easy to solve!
