How can I help my friend to find a handsome guy who wants a serious relationship?
I remember being in that same boat. It's definitely not fun! But there is hope for your friend.What I recommend is online dating. The glory of it is that you can find people who match your exact preferences. Non smoker? Casual drinker? Tall? Short? Older? Younger? Whatever someone's dating preferences are, they're likely to find a partner online that feels the same way. Online dating just works. Example:This is me and my boyfriend (he's the one on the right). We met on dating website called OKCupid. We've beem together for two years and plan to marry each other and, coincidentally, today is our anniversary.If your friend isn't comfortable with online dating there are places and events where gay people can meet other gay people. Help your friend by Googling some LGBT events in your area. I wish your friend the best of luck! Dating is difficult, gay dating is even harder but I'm sure he'll find someone eventually.
What can you do to help a friend who is in a serious emotional mess but just can't seem to even start to get out of it?
What can you do to help a friend who is in a serious emotional mess but just can't seem to even start to get out of it?People work things through in their own way and in their own time.Your concern about your friend is not entirely selfless - your friend’s emotional mess makes you uncomfortable and you would feel better if they got out of it. You might not have a strong opinion about how they should work things through but you certainly do about when, and that is they need to get on with it now.Let your friend know that you care and ask your friend what would be helpful. Listen to what they tell you and don’t pressure them to deal with their mess according to your timetable.
Help! My friend needs serious help!?
My friend...I'm sad to say, has become a Twilight vampire. I was in tears when I found out. He used to live his daily life, sucking the blood out of his victims(he prefered virgins), staying in his coffin until darkness, only coming into peoples houses when invited. Even when we went to get italian food, he'd just politely decline. Then he saw Twilight. Nobody saw him for 2 weeks. When he came back he was so much differnt. His slicked back hair was now emo. He no longer wore his cloak or suit and just wore a t shirt and jeans. When we brung him a virgin, he TURNED IT DOWN. Now he sparkles in daylight and has started to paint his nails. I'm seriously concerened about him. Is there anyway I can make him see the light?
My Friend Cuts Herself.....?
You have to help your friend. If her mom isn't going to do anything, then ask your friend to talk to the school counselor or another trusted teacher. It sounds like she has some deep rooted issues that stem from more than just her boyfriend. Your friend needs professional help and it may be up to you to make sure she gets it. It won't be easy, but you'll be glad you did. Good luck.
I'm 18 and lost. I need serious help or I might commit suicide under this pressure. What can I do?
You should immediately seek counseling. Now. But if you take the time to read a few thoughts...What would you tell someone who told you this exact story?I always find it interesting when working with career counseling clients who call themselves losers. When I pose the hypothetical question - "what would you tell your friend/younger sibling... even a stranger in the exact same situation?" the same people who just described themselves as losers provide words of comfort and wisdom. I then ask: "would you consider yourself lying in this situation?" In other words, when they tell their hypothetical friend: "this too shall pass", "life has meaning through struggles", "have gratitude for what you do have," and so forth, are they lying? "No. I would be telling the truth."It often takes them a moment to understand the import of what they just said to me. The truth of your situation lies with what you would tell your friend. With hope, you would be far kinder to him that you are to yourself.Nonetheless, at the moment, your rational mind might be spinning out of control. In such times, speaking with an outsider is critical. Do so now - your friend/relative/teacher. Anyone. Please seek help.My best to you.
I am always there for my friends but when I need help, I realize there is no one around. Why is that?
When your friends talk about their problems, you are willing to help. You offer your help. When you are having problems, you may mention them, and no one offers to help. You may not ask for help. Most people don't think to offer help. Most people also don't think to ask for help. When people ask for help, it's ok to say no if you don't want to help. When you ask for help, understand that no one is obligated to say yes. When you help people, you are internally keeping score. You are thinking that this person now owes you. And when you need help you expect them to repay the debt. The fact is, you offer to help with no strings attached. The fact that you do have strings attached and you don't mention it makes you a really untrustworthy person. I would not want you as a friend.
