Quit while you’re ahead because you’ll only make matters worse. Your criticism is spot-on, but a friend just isn’t in the mood to hear it.
Maybe means maybe. If someone can’t accept that then it’s his problem because you’re not going to commit to something before you’re ready.
You suspected a friend was in dire straits and today’s “off-the-record” conversation confirms it.
Keep a lid on your emotions and count to ten if need be. This isn’t the time to stand up to bullying types because they have the upper hand.
A sibling won’t listen to reason. Switch tactics and agree with everything s/he says. Sometimes a little confirmation unlocks frozen mental wheels.
Weren’t you supposed to be on your way out? Evidently circumstances have changed and the person letting you go needs you back.
