[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think for me one reason I don't like being on the receiving end of this "blunt" approach is that I don't really trust anyone and don't feel like they know the real me. I feel like I'd be okay getting it from a therapist. I'm definitely okay getting it from my husband. But from friends I'm like, who do you think you are? And I've gotten the same response when I've been the "tough love" person in the conversation.[/quote] And that is all fine, but then don't keep complaining about the same problem and issue over and over again to friends. Save the discussion of those problems and issues for your therapist, or husband, or whoever else you are open to hearing blunt advice from. It's not your friends' job to say "there, there" about the same issues for months and years on end.[/quote]
