| Topic | Is it a bad idea to ambush my friend who is dealing with depression? |
| thisworld 02/21/24 5:27:29 AM #15: | Ambush? In group? Very bad idea. Please refrain from driving someone into a corner like that; it breeds resistance. rofflemypancake posted... Any time we try to pry even slightly he closes himself off and changes the topic so we don't try to press the issue anymore. Yeah that won't work. Would you like others to pry into your life unnecessarily TC? rofflemypancake posted... What do you think we should do instead? Am I right that he still at least relates to his parents? In that case maybe talk to them first? I don't mean talking about life issue and such but a real casual talk about sport/weather/pet and so on. Do not pry, do not pity talk, just talk. Crack a joke or two and laugh with his family. Let him know that his own family welcomes you as someone to talk to and maybe, just maybe, that would lower his guard around you. ...
