Re: Darson
I am aware that the weak side is in everyone. It's just that, before the argument, the girl seemed to be strong, and always knowing how to stand up for herself. And during the argument, I just can't help but realize how ironic it is, when she turned defensive.

There is so much pain in the way we interact with each other...and it's unecessary, is the thing of it. We are so silly that we do that to each other, when we could work towards understanding instead. And yes, that weak side is in everyone...very perceptive of you.

Re: FormerStudentIntern
True! I love the advice given to me, especially because I am still a new learner to the realities of life, compared to others who have more valuable experiences.

I can sense a lot of frustration here. Thankfully we have plenty of wise bloggers who will offer plenty of sound advice.

Re: sam444
I agree..little distance is needed. It is quite hard now, since we'll be working together on a dance project, and remembering about the hurt that the three of us experienced, I'm not sure how to deal with it. I'll just stay positive. And hope that with time, everything will get back to normal. Thanks Sam. That's so kind of you to share your thoughts

clairerichard, we are all weak in unimaginable and unspoken ways.
What defines the difference between hopeless, or deeply pathological, and those are simply guilty of -- as you say miscommunication -- is the ability to recognize and break through defensiveness and admit the truth.  In my personal experience with both, I have witnessed up close and personal, shallow defenses through which the most glorious light shone beyond the human frailty.  And the cold and dead mental illness in those whose defenses are broken down and who cling to misperceptions and levels of dishonesty, even with themselves.  Those are the ones you want to shy away from.

This is heart breaking! But know your worth and don't allow the interpretation of another take away self confidence. Somehow, this feels like a little distance is needed and a meeting of the minds could certainly occur with understanding! In the meantime, try to be happy or at the least blissful, it is better for the soul and let time have its moment so to speak! Just my humble thoughts. sam
