Handling Pushy, Wellmeaning Friend

Posted by KellyD on November 7, 2003, at 22:19:00

I guess I'm venting - yet again. Have any of you had wellmeaning and "trying to help" friends who want to insist "You just need to get out - let's go shopping, lunch, a movie, etc I'm just not taking no for an answer" ??????????
My response: "Well, yes you will be taking no for an answer". I'm beginning what will, with all hope, be a good treatment for me. I'm in a recovery mode and I don't think retail or crowd therapy is gonna help right now. This one friend has had issues and spun "down the hole" herself several times. I never pushed her or pressured her. She must have developed amnesia to how it felt and how scary this whole process is.
Thanks for listening to my rant.
Kelly
