AYRT

Oh, I understand what you meant - and I do see where they're coming from...but at the same time? I was raised with the belief that you don't force help on someone if they don't want it...and if someone is insisting that they'll be okay, even if it's obvious that they're lonely, then it's disrespectful to ignore the fact they're refusing your offer of help.

So, for me? If someone keeps pushing after that point then...well. In some ways you're acting as if you know what they want better than they do, which is really not cool.

Disclaimer: I know that's not the case for everyone, nor should it be. I also am not saying an offer shouldn't be made - just that it's how the refusal is handled that makes the difference between 'concerned' and 'overly concerned', imo.

THANK YOU. We need more of this in the world. Let people dictate their own lives and respect their wishes (as long as they're not harming anyone else.)
