It could be that this person has trouble getting the kind of validation they want or it could be that they have a problem accepting that other's have different values from their own. If you have been a good friend and listened and tried to be understanding without judging then all you can do now is try not to encourage the subject. You could say, "Wow, you still seem to be very bothered by this and it is still really something you are carrying around with you, that must be a huge burden." Maybe they will realize that it is their choice to carry that emotional burden past what is good for them. Everyone has trouble in some area, so try to be supportive of the person but not their unhealthy habits. Good luck! [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]
