Human Relations. i juz can't get it. perhaps itz coz i seldom socialize or coz i'm the only child, anyway, i juz CANNOT handle human relations.
two of my really good guy friends quarrelled today. am feeling really bad about it. i was just sitting beside them, and the two of them were juz firing up at each other, and i din do a thing. well, my attitude was to let them say all their grievances out and hope they would reach a better understanding after they had cooled off, since there was no point stopping them once they had started. the damage would already had been done when they first exploded.
but in retrospect, i wunder if i should haf butted in and stopped the situation from spiralling downhill. the whole incident was nobody's fault actually, if it was anybody's fault, it would be mine. as the appointed-leader of the cosplay committee, it was my decision to split the team up into two. true, the original team objected, and might be a bit pissed off; but there is never a solution in which everyone can be happy.
or so i thought. is there really such a thing as a win-win situation? it really just depends on the attitude u take towards the situation, and not the solution u seek rite?
well, for the curious souls out there, the argument was because the two groups of people wanted to do radically different themes. in the end we decided to compromise on one, and everything was set up rather nicely. den one week later, i decided to split the team into two groups. one of the members wanted to quit because he just couldn't stand the theme and i realized that there was no point doing something u do not like. besides, there were a lot of rational reasons behind the split. however, it seemed like we were juz dumping the original group, and it would be bad for the morale.
i guess my friend (who wanted to quit in the first place) felt guilty about the ruckus the original group was making, and felt against the split. my other friend was annoyed because he felt my friend was arguing against both the solutions and could come up with no better one of his own. it kinda blew up. i felt shitty, but i couldn't let it show. i was just afraid it would worsen the situation, because the first friend would feel guiltier, and the second friend would feel angrier towards the first.
the cosplay project is about doing wat we like, and enjoying wat we do. wat is the point if we go to loggerheads over it?
