A friend(A) and I decided to do a little bit of intervention with a friend(B) of ours who in our minds seemed to have changed drastically over the last few weeks. The plan was to draw out the reason for her change and to a certain point to lessen the gap that had somehow opened up between us.

Unfortunately, the plan didn't go to well. I had told A from the start that under no circumstance was she to get emotional. That we were not going to provoke B into getting defensive. Tapi from the start, it was as if A had not heard anything i said. From what was supposed to a be a reconciliation of sorts, it turned into a blaming game.

I hate it when people let their emotions take over. When they feel that they need to prove their point with raised voices, accusations and heavy sarcasm. You think you are changing the minds of those listening but you only lower your own credibility.
