Do I give them what they want?
Dear Positive Way, If a person says to you that they do not wish to
communicate with you anymore and would like you to respect that. My
question is "is caring about someone by giving them what they want"? How do
you define respect? Thanks. signed, Respect, age 39
Dear Respect, Respect is defined as: to
show consideration for; avoid intruding upon or interfering with privacy.
Give the person what they want. Don't
force a friendship that is not welcomed. Care enough to honor and
respect their wishes and wish them well with their life and then move on
with yours. What is your level of self-esteem? If you honor and
respect yourself enough you would not hesitate to honor and respect the
other's wishes. Work on your self-esteem
and then you will be able to let this person go and move on with your
life and create new friendships. Trying to force someone into
communication will only make matters worse and that will not benefit you at
all. Let the friendship go, wish them well, and move forward with your
life.
