The first person I'd ask for help about problems among friends is gone now...so I'd like to ask for help here instead.

What should I do about a friend who keeps pushing me away because he thinks I don't care about him anymore? Every time I talked with him it seemed like he misunderstood more and more of my feelings...to the point that he left home in anger. I don't know what to do or say anymore. I'm afraid I'll make things worse.

Kagami, if you're reading this, just come home. Please. We should talk this over.





And...does anyone know of some self-defense trainers? I meant to ask last month, but the black out happened before I could. I'd like to learn more. I need the distraction.

But how? If he doesn't listen, then what can I do to show him I still care about him?

[dachizone]

Well, since I don't know who it is, I don't really know the situation but. There are times when people don't want to listen but instead be listened to. And if you're telling him that what he is saying is wrong and he's misunderstanding when you talk to him, maybe it sounds to him like you're not listening to his feelings.

[redigere]

So you're saying I should listen to him more? Or...listen better?

[dachizone]

If you can, make it feel to him like you're hearing him. Like what we're doing right now! I can tell that you're listening to what I'm saying.

[redigere]

Like I'm hearing him? [That's...vague.] He's left the house so I'd have to go find him in order for that to happen...

[dachizone]

Oh yeah! Face to face is definitely a good idea!

[redigere]

I guess that I shouldn't have made this post then...

[dachizone]

Eh? Why not?

[redigere]

Well, this isn't face to face, right? It's only text.

[dachizone]

You can use text to get his attention and then ask him to talk face to face?
