Anybody friends with someone in their 30s or 40s who were homeschooled or anybody in that age group that was homeschooled?
I’m friends with a woman who is in her late 30s who was homeschooled and I need some help. She constantly asks for help but counters any advice given.
I thought it was just her but I’m wondering if it’s due to the fact she was homeschooled all her life.
We’re part of a group of friends and she does things like friend hoarding. She wants everybody all to herself but doesn’t want anybody hanging out without her but it’s okay when SHE hangs out with that person by herself.
She has trouble on every job she’s been on and every job she’s been on has bad management according to her because they constantly get on her about calling out or coming in late. The amount of jobs she’s had within 6 years is quite alarming for someone her age.
She is extremely naive in dating. Guys use her but she finds the weirdest ways to give them passes. She obsesses over guys she’s gone out with no more than once and emotionally dumps on them and then wonders why they disappear.
Speaking of emotionally dumping. There’s not a day that goes by that she emotionally dumps with extremely long text messages bordering on essays. And not just one but 5 to 7 loooong messages per day.
I told her to see a therapist and she agrees she needs to but then never does. I don’t know how to help her or know if she can be helped by anything I can do. Everything I tell her is met with an excuse or polite counter.
Anybody else have this experience or any advice?
