There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Do you have a spare friend to lend them? If you happen to already know someone who is also a bit needy with you then you can introduce them to your relative and see what happens. I caused a marriage like this once and they were very grateful.
Congratulations for your friends, that's great!
Unfortunately I only have one friend who still lives around here, and she's less available than me. My relative fancies us to be a friend group in that she's constantly asking us both to drop everything and spend time with her, but she never hangs out with my friend one on one. It's odd.
Maybe she's having a crush on you? Also, I feel a therapy might be more needed for them, but that's probably even harder to sell.
Nah, just family history of codependence. I'll see if I can find a good opportunity to talk about therapy, though.
That's too bad. I hope you find a good solution.
Thanks! It did kind of give me an idea, even if I don't have a friend to hook them up with right now, maybe I can bring them to social functions and encourage them to mingle.
I think that would be helpful to them even if it takes a while to bear fruit, they've obviously taken a bit of a knock to their social confidence at some point and that could start building them up again.
