The topic of today was something we all have without even noticing. We all had a situation where a friend or an acquaintance trespasses, possibly without meaning it, the limits of our tolerance when it comes to a friendly relationship.

The reasons for this are plenty and these type of situations can shake the foundations of a good positive friendship. The good news is that when friendships are solid and real, all can be sorted with a frank and open conversation. We found out that communication and honesty are the keys to sort out this and other issues in a personal connection. And for as different and sensitive as we all might be, this becomes even more important so that the foundations of trust and understanding can be solidified and an unpleasant situation can become a source for improvement and better mutual respect.

Nobody really wanted to share any similar situations but we have surely been there in a moment or another and we can all relate to this as something familiar.

Diplomacy at a personal level… like on politics and international relations, it’s all about setting up clear expectations, stay true to your beliefs… and show some sense of forgiveness as well 🙂
