Can’t be friends with everyone

There was a silence that hung in the air as no one said anything.

The situation had degraded into a staring competition with the way that we all looked at each other.

However, even though the situation had become like this, I didn't back down at all.

After all, I knew that this would be important for how things developed from here on out.

If I were to show any weakness, there was no doubt that they would pounce on that and take advantage of this. If I didn't show that we had the strength to back the stance that we were showing, then they would look down on us and this would never work.

But most importantly of all, I knew that it was impossible to become friends with everyone.

It was like trying to please everyone in the world, that was something that was impossible.
