How Can I Help A Friend Who Doesn't Seem To Want To Help Herself? by keelsors: 9:53pm On Apr 27, 2022
I have this "friend" of mine who does not seem to want to improve herself. I know part of her problem is financial, but I keep telling her to move forward one day at a time. I was in the exact situation she is now a couple of years ago where I could not even afford to pay rent, let alone feed and pay bills, but I had to make some tough decisions which later improved my life significantly.

I’ve tried to make her take some decisions, make some moves, but it seems she’s afraid or unwilling to make those steps. The gigs I introduced her to(Amazon Flex Delivery, Doordash) to earn extra cash eventually did not pan out and her accounts were deactivated. The certification exams she registered for never came to fruition. She even failed the only one she took, and never bothered to retake it until her retake voucher expired.

Everyday she complains about how her landlady treats her like a slave, as she has held her hostage because she couldn’t pay her rent in time. The lady has given subtle threats to evict her multiple times. I’ve told her it’s time for her to move out and she should not wait until the lady kicks her out, but till today, that has not happened.

I’m honestly getting tired of hearing her daily complaints and issues she’s going through as I’ve told her several times what she has to do to get out of the rut she’s in. More often than not I tune out her voice whenever she complains, but I do feel bad for her. I also want to stop borrowing her money, as she owes me upwards of two grand. I’m not the type to take advantage of people's situations either, as I've heard and read of many situations where a guy "helps" a girl financially in exchange for sex. I know this girl can't pay me back the money she owes, even though she keeps saying she will once she gets on her feet. How long that will take, I have no idea.
