[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not getting a spot in the ultra competitive EC= a kid training for a year and not making the team. Why is this not someone OP's friend should talk about?[/quote]

It’s about perspective. It makes sense that child would be disappointed but when there are many other ways to enjoy sports, likely the same sport, then yes, it starts to feel out of touch and a product of poor values. Especially when my kid cannot even play any team sport. I can’t even say to this “DS was crying the other day about how he is always the worst at everything” due to his clinical dyspraxia. If I said that after my friend engages in extended dramatics about travel soccer, how is that going to come off? [/quote]

Then you should probably drop the friendship because you can’t be a good friend when you can’t hear others’ disappointments (and successes) with out making it all about you. You will spend your time dissing that “friend” because they are not making their issues about you. [/quote]
