FRIENDSHIP TRIANGLE THE SITUATION: Scarlett, Mara, and Claire have been best friends for a long time; however, recently Mara and Claire have had a lot of conflict with one another. No longer wanting to be caught in the middle, Scarlett suggested the idea to negotiate the situation with one another. "
YOU ARE CLAIRE: You have been friends with Scarlett and Mara for a long time, but recently it feels like Mara doesn't like you. She seems annoyed and disinterested in everything you do but you don't know why. Sometimes you find it hard to figure out what Mara is thinking or feeling, because she acts so reserved and private. You don't know what you did that caused her to start treating you differently, but she's started to make hurtful and judgmental comments at you in front of friends. It seems like nothing you do or say is the right thing, and she's always making you feel stupid by pointing out your flaws. You've been dealing with it by trying to avoid Mara, but it's tricky when she's always with Scarlett. When Mara's comments were particularly hurtful, you decided to talk with Scarlett about it, since you didn't feel comfortable talking to Mara. Talking to Scarlett seemed to make Mara dislike you more. You wish you could understand why Mara is being so hurtful so you could make things go back to normal. "
