I tell them I only care about their wellbeing and I stand by them no matter what as a friend.

i'm simply giving advice on how to manipulate said person into hopefully avoiding making a mistake 😛

That is how I dealt with my trans friends and they appreciated it.

Because I do research this stuff for them, print out the paper work, give them detail analysis that they came to appreciate.

>.>... damn my scientific mind.

noble actions

No manipulation....

though it sounds like they were emotionally somewhat stabler

If they find out you manipulate, it will make their depression worse and ruin the relationship.

Well they were 19 to 20 years old at the time.

someone who's unstable will basically, conclude that you (through the paperwork), think they're crazy people

2 trans firends.

Friends.

I tell them I am giving them the tools to make their decision. I don't take sides.

I just couldn't imagine making a decision like that at such a young age

I have 3 trains as friends, do I win?

I just tell them I stand behind their decision regardless.

My needs and wants are worlds apart from what they were when I was 20

i have 0 😛

nice what kind of train

choo choo

chew chew

primarily cuz i don't hang out with unstable people 😛

oh i love it when you talk like that

I think giving them the tools is a bunch of help.

it is, if they're rational about it

The information, the facts, the knowledge to make that decision.

but unstable people are unstable for a reason,

They might think you think they're crazy

look at how SJW's for example treat facts given to tehm

We're all crazy in some way or another

depends

if you're rich, you can't be crazy

rich people are eccentric 😉

not anymore

now they are pedo

whats better is to ask them questions that will make them question themselves

Rumor has it the Canadian Govt is buying the media.
Thoughts?

welcome to European Media

What do you think is more helpful 10th. Just being there and letting them make the decision alone or be there with them and give them the tools to make a informed decision to help them on their journey?
