How do I best handle dumb pointless drama in my friend group?

>pointless drama in my friend group
it's called feelings and if you had any friends you'd care how they felt and why. try being less of a piece of shit all the time

Horrible advice. OP already said he stays out of it, give him the benefit of the doubt that he's not in the wrong.

Without more information, the best advice I can give is to remain neutral. If it really is pointless drama, they have no right dragging you into it and if they get mad at you for not taking a side, fuck em. Hang out with them individually to avoid drama if you can.

Well, right now there's a feud between two sisters (it's usually always them against each other) because the older one (with whom most tend to side with) had declined to join in on a group hobby that the rest of us decided to try, and now that most of us ended up really enjoying it, she feels excluded of the group.

The younger sister pointed out that she was the one who decided to decline in the first place, so it's all her own fault if she feels like everyone's abandoned her. I mean, she's right, BUT she could just put an end to it by saying it nicer and offering to include her next time, but unfortunately the younger sister is the human embodiment of "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole".

I do care about how they feel, the problem is them not caring about each others' feelings.

Keep doing what you're doing. It'll eventually turn into background noise.

Also, telling them that their drama is pointless will likely piss them off so be careful.

Don't say anything. Or leave the group. Why waste your time. Find other friends.

sage, report, and hide

I used to have a group of friends with this. After like a 6months of hanging out if things got any more heated or naggy than a nasty quip or something from someone, I'd stand up and just loudly and sarcastically say something blunt like "Oh god here comes the drama". I'd make sure I was always getting up to go piss or grab a drink to leave them without a person who had pointed it out to then immediately vent their bullshit on. If they were still going when I finished whatever I had gotten up to do, I'd flat out just say something like "oh god still going I see" and then wander away for a bit. I'd do it no matter what we were currently doing too, so if we were playing a video or board game etc. everything kind of came to a standstill until they stopped bitching or griping. After about 3 months of this one of the instigators stopped showing up entirely and the other one cut most of their shit out.
