     @WoodshopHandman People are like engines. Sometimes you can find one that you can overhaul and get running, but if they don't know where to get fuel and you don't provide any then they'll go back to stalling and collecting rust.

     @WoodshopHandman The problem is that you become a linchpin for success. I've seen it myself. If you do it for someone else you regress when they don't keep you accountable. It's why people (male and female) get fat after marriage. They didn't love themselves enough to love each other to not get fat.

     Well then I would simply not regress. I would remain absolute and unmoving and become a rock on the mountain they can tie themselves to, even if it kills me.

     @veff You gotta make it so they pull themselves up and not become dependent on you.

     @veff Expecting self-respect from others is a good way to turn into a misanthropist. And why would they respect themselves? Look at them. Look at their lives and the built world around them. It would take a great deal of conscious effort to fix their lives and they typically don't even know how to start doing that. So they spiral downward.

     @veff I personally plan on testing something out soon, which is "respect them far more than they respect themselves to shame them into being better"

     it's not even that I'm going to stop talking to her or whatever, she's fun and I enjoy cultivating unlikely friendships, but there comes a point where Im just expecting a little self respect. Not for me, for herself.
