Would you tell them you disapprove knowing they might turn their backs on you?  |
|
If you strongly believe that a friend or relative is heading down the wrong road in their life, would you speak out and tell them even if it means that they would turn their backs on you? It could be as simple as they are wrong in their behaviour towards you or someone else or it could be that they are abusing alcohol or drugs. I would speak up but I would also think first and find a way to get my message and intent across to them before engaging them. It may not work and they may turn their backs on me but then again it might work and we both could learn something. To me it is worth trying. Share your thoughts on this please. Thank you...

1. Soniasony (374) | 5 months ago | I guess its worth giving a try, it may or may work out but try your best to convince him/ her, or let their parents know what he is doing . Dont let a person head to wrong road which is within your knowledge.

| trinee (97) | 5 months ago | To me it is worth trying. Sometimes it may not work out and you may end up being separated from someone you care about. I don't think that I could watch someone I care about head down the wrong road and stay silent about it. Thank you for sharing and have a great day.

3. Savvynlady (2959) | 5 months ago | I had a family member tell me a while back to pursue my options more since I have more education than most and haven't used it at all since getting it. While what she told me was true, I have no problems with that, it still hurt for me to hear that but truth is truth. On the other hand, I feel my family member is one of those who will run and tell stuff and all, so to me, that aspect is what hurt.

| trinee (97) | 5 months ago | If what you meant was that it is okay for someone to point out your challenges but when they use it against you like telling other people about it to make you look bad then I can understand that. It is not nice to do that at all and you don't feel the support and love that you need. I hope I understood you in the context you were referring.

4. astonysh (1736) | 5 months ago | My principle is that somebody has to tell them the awful truth some time. While I am known to be the shy, intellectual type, most people recognise that when I have something to say, I am serious in my intent.
If the person's feelings are hurt, and they don't want to know me afterwards, then fine - that is their choice. Curiously once you have broken the door down, other people are less afraid to walk in with their opinions. Eventually it is the combined weight of opinions that works, not just a single individual speaking out.

| trinee (97) | 5 months ago | Yes. I agree with you. People are likely to share their opinion when someone else breaks the ice. When you have a united front however, it can make for a powerful argument. It can also feel like everyone is coming at you, highlighing your challenges but it is all intended to help rather than expose the person. Thank you for sharing.

| 6. mmlove (17) | 5 months ago | It doesn't matter If you disapprove of what they doing.why? Because if your friend or relative is grown they know exactly what they are doing is wrong and it's like they doesn't have to listen to what anybody have to say because they grown and they make their own decision whether you like it or not.However you can get help for a friend or relative before something bad happens.

8. Opal26 (9563) | 5 months ago | Hey trinee! I am totally with you on this one! I would tell a friend or relative if I felt that they were doing something that I thought would harm them! But, I would also know that by doing this it could have the adverse affect and it could make them angry and turn away from me! It still wouldn't stop me! I have been down that road and have had people do it to me! I might not have been ready to listen, but I did appreciate that they took the time to try! So no matter what the outcome is, it is still better to try to help someone then not do anything!

9. FFFrocks (196) | 5 months ago | If it's something serious I would definately speak up, and I have in the past. What i tried to do in my situation was let my loved one know that I was telling them what I was out of love for them. I never ever want to find myself in a position where I am saying to myself "if I had only said something earlier".....
