If you feel you’re caught up in a triangle, ask yourself which role you’re playing. If you’re the offended one talking to a rescuer, stop and say, “You know, thanks for listening, but I really should go talk to B directly. “If you’re C, the rescuer, tell A to go talk directly to B, the persecutor, or ask if you can meet both to help them solve the problem. If you’re B, the one being talked about, go to A, the gossip, and say, “I heard you have some disagreement with me. How can I help?”
