Yes but you will not criticize anyone of them. You will do it in a constructive manner. Assure them that, no matter what, you will always be a friend to them. You will point out the faults or shortcomings but in the end, you understand him or her. No one is perfect after all.
This will apply if both are your true friends really. Meaning, you've been together for a long time already despite of the ups and downs in the past. Tested through times that you will never abandon them. This will help them take your points at an acceptable level. |

If it doesn't involve you at all, why would you want to take sides? You would lose one of your friends. |

realistically speaking, when both are your friends-it is rather hard to take sides coz surely one or both will question your apparent friendship regardless if who is right or wrong. What i do is i share my opinion (if seeked) on whatever matter they are/were feuding about in general. What is right or wrong to me is mine alone and its up to them to decide what they want to do with the argument. Either way I do not lose the friendship. |

No. I have witnessed several friend feuds because I have a large barkada. I may agree with the one who is right but I always try to counsel both sides to sort out differences and to communicate well. I don't want to lose friends simply due to a misunderstanding =) |

In times like that I'll be listening and not judging and taking sides. |

No because all the time I'm the bridge of reconciliation. |

Oh hell no! Stay as far away from that fight as you can. When they mention it just say you don't feel comfortable talking about it and change the subject. |

You don't need to take sides but if they ask for your opinion on the subject of their disagreement , best to sit them down together when you give them your unbiased opinion . You could not be sitting in fences and let them fight it out , sometimes friends need another opinion of their selected respected friend to put the matter to rest.
Best to sit them down both at the time you expressed your point on view so no word will be added and no word to be deducted when it becomes a second hand info , but remind them you are expressing this opinion only because they ask for it , and not because you have prejudged who is wrong and right. See to it that you clear and verify with them that you understand fully the point they are disagreeing with . Then when you expressed your opinion , validate with them that they understand the point your coming from . |

you know, it's just hard to take sides with your 2 friends that are fighting... why not be neutral...??? or just go with the one you think is right... |

No, I don't take sides but I definitely like to hear what each side has to say. I then sit them down together and let them air out all the things that they need to say. Usually, after the hoopla, it always comes out to be a simple misunderstanding. |

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I won't be a hypocrite and deny that I don't get involved because the truth is, I do get involved specially when I see that one is being unfair and is at fault. I cannot stay unconcerned or passive; hey, these are my friends and friendship means a lot to me. If I don't step in and try to sort things between them, then, I will lose either friend and that's when it is difficult to stay neutral. |
