Re: Reassuring friends from their anxieties (when their anxieties are justified)
(Anonymous) 2015-05-19 12:19 am (UTC)(link)I was in a similar position with a friend a few years ago (except I wasn't also a student, and the program my friend was in was fairly easy and she was just very immature and irresponsible at the time). I think I have to nth what other people have said. Don't promise her she'll pass. Don't promise her that things'll turn around.
Optimism doesn't have to take the form of 'this specific situation will turn out great! :D' You can be optimistic by helping her come up with OTHER ways to succeed. Obviously this program hasn't worked out, and maybe if she'd been diligent rather than slacking off she STILL wouldn't be passing. Maybe it's just too difficult for her, or she needs specific help, or she's not responsible enough to handle it and needs a serious wakeup call. Whatever the case, if this doesn't work out you can still be there to help her pick up the pieces and find a new path.
