Search Results: points for asking questions

So since the start of last month I've been helping - or trying to - help a friend who is having some issues. To be clear they ASKED for my help initially, as I didn't know of the situation they were in until recently (had I known I'm the sort who'd have offered help).

They lost their job
They may need legal help
They will need finanical help / housing, etc.

All of these things I can assist with due to my career & various professional connections.

But I'll send this friend an email or a text message asking you know do you want this, do you want that. Do you want to talk and sort of voice your worries, concerns, etc. - as we've done and/or as will do whenever this friend gets it into their head that they want to talk.

They almost never respond to my questions, etc. They barely communicate - but expect me to help with serious issues (such as money or housing) - and when I text rarely text back.

They say they appericate the help & all but those are just words. And I was always raised that words don't mean much without action. And a text when sitting at home jobless doing nothing - as they've admitted - beyond asking for money or help with housing isn't much.

And it's getting to the point... I'm getting tired of trying. I am extremely patient by nature but it really is getting to the point of why am I even trying anymore.

I'm asking for opinions cause I'm not actually a pushover. I'm not helping this person to earn their favour or something. I'm helping cause that's the sort I am. ... But on reverse if I decide enough is enough with anyone that I deal with I just cut them out of my life cold turkey
