Have you ever tried to help someone who comes to you for advice but never takes it?

Trying to help a couple of people get up on their feet and start grinding but they don't take it seriously or just quit

One of the people I'm talking to always discusses his mental health and I understand that some days , in fact most days feel like shit, but you have to eventually get out of that spot and start working towards a goal

No lie, I actually cut off a friend of mine because of this. I was his punching bag.

His issue was not mental issue tho.

Its so fucking annoying to deal with. He even throws shots at me and never takes accountability. Idk why I bother.

He just vents and I usually have solutions for them, but he cries about it.

Ask them to get therapy. Counselling. Walaahi it will change their life

My father used to tell me that a person who give you an honest advice is more valuable than person who give you money.

Because money will go eventually but a good advice can change you forever

I would do the same especially for close family and relatives but never saw them take action even when I gave them a blueprint out of the hardship. An older wiser relative told me to listen and make those people feel heard because they aren’t really asking for help. That’s because they don’t want to change their own lives but merely complain about it. They have to reach the point where it’s do or die for them to realize it. All you can do is make dua for them and take care of yourself when speaking to them.

Some people don’t want to actively change their circumstances for whatever reason. Maybe they feel incapable in some way. Or perhaps they aren’t at the point of self-actualization yet. Allah knows best.

It’s just too much effort to work on problems tbh. There’s so many hurdles you have to go through. Complaining and wallowing in self-pity/hatred however is instant gratification no need to put the work in.

 

[NordicSomali]

I know many people like that and I don’t give a f*ck about them.

 

[Jiron]

Sometimes people just need an ear to air out their concerns and frustrations, just keep being there for them because some day they will take your advice and it will save their life

I have this one friend who always asks me and the mandem for advice about anything but he goes and does the total opposite of what we tell him.

 

[Last Laugh]

Unless you’re a full blown schizophrenic or have bipolar disorder, I don’t accept the mental health excuse. Especially if it’s man complaining. Some people are just pathetic and lazy
