    “I made a mistake”

    “As an outsider with nothing invested in your mistake, I don’t mind. I probably won’t even remember you made that mistake in another ten minutes.”

    “You made a mistake.”

    “As an insider heavily invested in my own success, I am devastated by the disappointment and the uncertainty I’ve created for myself in the future. I’m going to be living with the fruit of my failure and mulling over what could have been indefinitely.”

      it’s not your fault for being a good friend. sometimes people need to hear something positive even if it’s a lie.
