Have you ever had to give someone you cared about a serious wake-up call?

Question

How did that go?

sawno · Accepted Answer

Yes, I had moments where I do that its very natural to me. But the way it sometimes happens is that I am the wake-up call by the very nature of my being. For example if I am near someone who has never had much love in their life and they discover the amount of love I naturally give that can be a big wake-up call and overwhelming to them.

But I also have a natural talent for poking stuff out of people and then helping them fix it.

I’ve tried. But a lot of people don’t care what anyone has to say. A lot of people are their own worst enemy and they will do the opposite of whatever toh tell them in a effort to prove you wrong… and when things go wrong they will become angry with you even more. Even when you tried to warn them.

Yeah… I’m kind of the designated person for that in my friend group… usually it goes well… one or two exceptions. It’s all about the tone in approaching the person, knowing what they’ll listen… hold off on accusations, hear them out and chat reasonably till they come to reason.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

I've tried a few times, but I destroyed the friendships or relationships every time.

Unfortunately, people basically do whatever they want to do, and think whatever they want to think. People get their pride wrapped up in situations like that... it turns out that people HATE admitting the possibility that they might be wrong. And the more obvious it is that they're wrong, usually, the stronger they'll double down and insist that they're right.

Yes. It went pretty well actually.  Even I was surprised.

Yes, extremely difficult when you’re trying to look out for their best interest. you want them to be around for it longer. It’s time.
