A man went to a party and drank some punch, he then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch died of poisoning. Why did this man not die?
If tomorrow was the end of the world I would spend my time with my loved ones, I'd eat anything i wanted, buy the best champagne money could buy, dance, laugh and make sure I go out with a bang!!!!!!
Some people don't realize how self-centered or self-absorbed they really are. She may be "talking" about herself to hear herself talk or to make herself seem important. It is hard to have a give/take ratio in a friendship if your friend is so involved with herself and not taking the time to give back to you and give you her ear once in awhile. It's very rude and doesn't show that she is capable of being a true friend. If she is someone who you don't socialize with, have a deep friendship with then I'd just do to her what she does to you. If she is as self-absorbed as she appears to be she is going to be dying to know why you are ignoring her and then you have the chance to tell her why and you feel.
Thanks for the info honey but it still doesn't offer a solution to the problem...it's just frustrating for me to try to find the words needed to be discreet, respectful and nonconfrontational with her. I want to tell her gently so as to avoid hurting her feelings, any other useful suggestions would be most appreciated.
I don't know what her diet would consist of but I do know that she has stated she's tried many alternatives to combat her exzema. I do know from my younger daughter having exzema though that too much bathing can be drying on skin that is already sensitive.I always used Cetaphil products on her and this seemed to work for my daughter. I had suggested this product to my classmate and she stated she had already tried it. I think I will try the suggestions regarding diet though and maybe that can be a prelude into address the body odor issue. I was basically elected to do this by default because my classmates feel that I would be the easiest one for her to open up too.
I already know that this classmate has in the past seen a dermatologist and was diagnosed with severe exzema. She can't afford the prescription ointment and soap, so therefore she has to rely on over-the-counter remedies. In the meantime she doesn't bathe on a regular basis and she has a very distinctive odor and it follows her wherever she goes, it trails behind her. It may not be my personal responsibility to address this situation with her, but as a friend I feel that it is my duty because if it were me I'd want someone to tell me. I just don't know how to find the words.
yeah i think a clothespin would be a little more than indiscreet. I just truly want to help this girl and make her aware of this issue before we hit the hospitals together. She is very nice but she doesn't smell like a boquet of roses if ya know what i mean
I go to school and am training to be a respiratory therapist. When working within a group setting it has come to my attention that a fellow classmate (female) is having a hygiene issue. I spoke with in the past not about the hygiene but about her skin condition and she replied that she bathes infrequently due to severe skin inflammation. My quandry is with this girl, she is very nice and extremely sensitive, how as a friend would I tell her about her hygiene issue?
Men who have motorcycles mostly think of their machine in the female sense and name their bike after a womans name.
They spend their time adorning their bikes with the best chrome and ornamentation that money can buy, they wash it, wax it, pet and spoil it like they would a woman.
Do you think this might have something to do with the fact that since they know how to treat their bike so well that it transfers over to the actual woman in his life? Just food for thought!
Have either of you actually met the other? Just curious for two people declaring such love and feelings, just wondering if you have physically met yet?
I put great value in my parents opinions and knowledge. Yes I care what they think about me because I would hate to let them down or disappoint them in any way. But we all know in reality that this is not always possible, so I just do the best I can to make decisions that would make them proud, I think that is the best way I can honor them.
