[quote]Worrying about someone is being protective and sensitive. It shouldn't be something that brings you down. [/quote] I never said it did, however, when you worry too much about other people, and not yourself, you tend to become encapsulated in jealousy because people will end up moving forward while you're sitting back and watching them do so. This, in turn, makes a person volatile for anyone who wishes to succeed. Self-preservation is more important than having pseudo-friends. [quote]And yes, providing constructive criticism is one way to make someone turn around but there are other ways. [/quote] No, there isn't. You cannot force change. A person must accept that there is a problem before they can fix the problem. Constructive criticism is the only way other people can do this for one another in a helpful manner. Anything other mechanism used to change people is inherently deceitful and cynical. [quote] You seem a bit self destructive, overly confident and apathetic. With no offense.[/quote] I wouldn't say self-destructive. Self-constructive is a better term. Also, "overly" is relative term.
