I got a friend which was problematic, others tagged him as hopeless person and sometimes worse... He keep on telling me his problems and his failures, and faults; as a friend i gave him advice and encouraged him to do better next days to come, yet, as days went by i cannot see him exerting effort to make those things that he needs to make right or even a hint of sincerity of his desire to do better... I got tired and am sucked out...what will you do if you're on my shoes?

I will give up definitely. Everyone has the responsiblity for him/herself. Others can only provide advices. Even himself have given up, why i have to encourage him again and again?

yeah i got your point, but somehow have felt even just once that u feel accountable to that person coz you understand him/her..i mean, before i got this kind of personality that i won't give up...but thanks for reminding me somehow...that's his life...

Perhaps Your friend Has depression. It Can be a Disabling disease. One often has feelings of worthlessness, and/or self loathing, And of hopelessness. often with little or no causes. You should maybe send your friend to the doctor. Who Would point out their Faults? except someone with a self esteem problem.
