Have you ever run into this?

Person 1: "I want help. I NEED help! I am HURTING other people!"

Person 2: "Here is what you have to do, XYZ; if you go and do this, it will help you."

Person 1: "Oh, other people have told me that, and I am too stubborn to go and get help."

Person 2: SMH

I had to stop being friends with a person like that

Im guilty of being person 1
I try not to offer unsolicited advice but in this case the person is asking for help. If they brought it up again, I'd just say I already offered my advice, please drop the topic, figure it out on your own or ask somebody else.

That falls under the category of: "You can lead a horse to water."

I usually walk away after I offer advice that is ignored

Stop talking about me
Gusman · 61-69, M
Yes. I gave up giving those people advice because they always say - "That won't work for me" or some such.

@Gusman When push comes to shove, do you think, perhaps, they simply want to do what they want to do and they DON'T want help at all?
Gusman · 61-69, M
@4meAndyou Yes I do believe that. A little drama in their lives.
