23、 wrong -even if youve also been wronged. But over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. “We dont think clearly when were arguing,” says Michael Lang, a professional mediator in Pittsburgh. Instead, says Lang, ask: “Whats going on? This doesnt make sense.”See things from you
