I think some folks like to latch on to whatever drama they can find in others lives. On one hand its good there tryingt o be supportive.
But i can relate i'm the same way. I recently had a family member nagging me about taking care of this problem and that problem in my life and i'll help you out etc.. and i'm liek geeze i'm fully capable of handling this on my own get the eff out of my **** but i just had to smile and nod and play along. was liek for whatever reason this makes this other family member feel better for some reason id unno.
