[quote=Anonymous]It really, really depends on what the thing they are wrong about is. Like, if a friend feels the waiter was rude because he didn't bring a second round of bread before dinner, and I think my friend is being ridiculous for no good reason, I might just say something vague like "oh yeah, their bread is really good, that would have been nice." But if a friend rear ended someone because she was looking at her phone and she wants me to agree that actually the other driver slammed on their brakes, I will just say "no, you were looking at your phone, you had time to stop" because I do not want them to think I'll lie on their behalf in a lawsuit. If on the other hand the friend is wrong about something that is fully their business and I am not really entitled to an opinion, like if they think their sister is enmeshed with their parents but I actually think my friend is just jealous that her sister is closer to their parents than she is and is using therapy-speak to make her sister sound bad, I will still fully take my friends side and say stuff like "ugh that is so frustrating" and "yes, it's annoying your parents can't see the the dynamic is bad" because even though I think she's wrong it's not my family and it's not my place to try and set her straight, plus she's looking for a friend to support her with a difficult family thing and I will just do it. So it is just extremely context dependent.[/quote]
