I... Need help with something. But I can't be specific.


How can you help someone if you don't understand what the problem is?

I don't...

[He still doesn't really understand. Why would someone blame something even if it made things worse?]

It isn't anyone's fault though. There's no reason for it... These things just happen.

[He sounds defeated, this only confirms there's nothing he can do to help.]

[insidescoop]

[Well...] That's just the thing though.

...It doesn't have to be anyone's fault-people just feel like if there's something to blame, that there's a way to fix it that way.

...If there's something to blame, then that means the problem... ...has a source they can see.

[mylastchance]

Then what can I do?

[fortuneglass]

I think...

...The best thing you can do is talk to them, but don't talk to them to try and change their mind. The hardest part is realizing what they're really angry at-that would help, but....

Until then, you have to talk to them about what they think they're angry at, and try to work with them through it. It's hard...

...But even that should help.

[mylastchance]

What does it mean... To work through it?

[fortuneglass]

It means you help them fix the problem-for real, and not the way they were thinking of.

[mylastchance]

... I don't think I've ever dealt with something like this.

[fortuneglass]

Well...to be fair to that, most people don't deal with this all the time either..!

They definitely don't expect to. It just...happens.

[mylastchance]

Yeah... I guess you're right.

[fortuneglass]

.....

I'm sorry I couldn't help any more. ...But good luck, okay?

[mylastchance]

You helped as much as you could.

Thank you.
