This is in regards to my best friend, He is the one who has been in my life for the longest time except my family but the problem is, his life choices have been degrading as he grows up, one second he starts something and the other second he hates it whereas all he wanted to do was that. also he makes a substantial amount of time in decision making which if chosen correctly wouldn't have been a problem and whenever i advise him something since i have been through the same or i started working on it before him, he doesn't understand at that point of time but realizes later.
what can we do in such cases?
Hey Jasper, what I understand from your situation is that your friend is stuck in a situation where his decision making and his perspective about life is self sabotaging. I request you to show this answer to him that it must have been happening with him, before he can even listen to what you are saying his reaction bursts out no matter whether it’s context related or not. Also, he might respond negatively to things which are meant for his own ultimate good so in such a situation you should ask him to be calm, understand the fact that not everyone is after his life to improve himself but it’s just a contributive act towards making his life better for himself. It’s an act of love not an act of criticism, because ultimately it’s his life, his decisions and his consequences as a friend you just don’t want him to suffer from the worst that you have so tell him my friend! I hope this helps.
