What should I say?

Post Reply New Topic

I have a WP friend that I just abruptly quite chatting with. The main issue with him is the last conversation he said he was depressed and wanted to kill himself IMO talking to someone in this psychological state constantly weighed me down emotionally so I decided to stop chatting with him. After a couple days he PMed me but I don't know how to respond. He has a girlfriend so he doesn't even have enough time to chat (on AIM/or the Xbox) anymore anyway and overall IMO this person should focus on getting A JOB! (it got to the point he had to sale jewelry) (Sadly he turned down a telemarketing job which IMO I WOULD of taken if I needed a job THAT BADLY!) So WP members how do I break it to him gently that we just shouldn't chat anymore? Thanks.

Well if the person is on WP you have to imagine that eventually they will read this and recognize the "circumstances" you laid out as their own. They'll get the point I think

You pretty much answered your own question. You made a decision that you felt you needed to in order to preserve your own mental well being. As a responsible person, what else should you do? Tell him the truth, might actually be just what the guy needs to hear, and if not, you're not his momma.

Tough call.

Follow your heart, what do you think you should say?
