Well, I hate to sound harsh, but friendship isn't something a person is entitled to, and sometimes people lack friends for a reason. The person you describe sounds like they'd be emotionally exhausting to be around. I'd bet you good money that they've already had friends who encouraged them and told them what they needed to hear (as opposed to what they wanted to hear) and they probably didn't appreciate it one bit.

You (and everyone else who holds back) are right to be wary. You can't force someone to be better person or heal them through the magic of friendship if they don't want to help themselves. If and when they decide to make an honest assessment of their lives and how they could change, they're probably going to be pretty lonely.

MTE. I've been that person who 'needed a friend' years back, and from a place of greater clarity I'm really thankful that most people had the common sense to stay the fuck away from me. For their own sakes obviously, but also for mine. The two or three people that did try to befriend me? - I wasn't grateful to them at all at the time, I always resented them for 'not doing enough'. I spent a lot of time being angry at them, feeling bad for being angry, then doing it all over again.

Maybe I would have been more depressed and desperate without them, on the other hand maybe I would've got my head out of my arse sooner and realised nobody could wave a magic wand and make things better for me, if I didn't have any well-meaning but ultimately ineffective friends around to blame my problems on.

Yes, yes and yes, to this comment and the one you responded to. It's a harsh fact to acknowledge, that there are some people that you just can't help.

I just got out of a ten year friendship with someone like this and, hoo boy, is it so much better not taking responsibility for them anymore. Ten years and she didn't change one bit.

Don't feel bad about leaving them be, OP. You gotta take care of yourself first.
