Weak or Scheming?

labbishLife SG

when you come across people who are always crying about their problem, wanting to suicide, wanting to avoid everything but still wants to talk to certain people, do you view them as weak or attention seeking? exploiting peoples' compassion?

Just kind of wondering, how to differentiate between people who are really weak or just emotionally manipulating others?

i view them as scheming

people who are weak should have died off within a short period of time

thus if a person is as described above surviving for a long time, then the person is scheming

Depends on how serious the problem that they have, is it true or it is a trap

its hard. i don't know why but apparently, guys tend to take it as true all the time. =.= trying to console them, give them the same advice again and again which they obviously dont bother to take in and help themselves.

its like, calling people to tell them they want to die. =.= then what? people have to drop everything to rush to them. then the cycle repeat again. =.= abit no point leh. but also scare if dont rush to them, they really gonna hurt themselves. =.=

Who are they? Your friends? Your ex-gfs? OR your GFs? lol

Anywayz...to be on the safe side....just call their parents and tell them about the situation...Problem off your hands! :D

You're not their babysitter and these people really have to learn to solve their own problems...especially if these are all minor issues. Best if you know how to differentiate between the attention seeking ones and those who truly need help.

manic depression. I am a bit like that also.

Manic depressive - What does it mean?
Manic depressive refers to mood swings from overly “high” (manic) to overly “low” (depressed). Another name for manic-depressive illness is bipolar disorder. This refers to a person’s mood alternating between “poles” of mania (highs) and depression (lows). Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder that causes unusual changes in the person’s mood, energy, and ability to function.

Manic-depressive illness or bipolar disorder affects both men and women. Although it can start at any age, it usually begins in late adolescence. Bipolar disorder is found among people of all ages, races, ethnic groups, and social classes. It appears to have a genetic link and tends to run in families. Unfortunately, in addition to affecting the sufferer’s life, this disease also has the potential to devastate the lives of the caregivers and those in the immediate family circle.

consulting people of their woes are not weak per se....

but when someone or a country steps on you or your motherland and u take it as it is without any proactive ways to defend yourself or retaliate is considered weak and to add...spineless

That's true.

Some cowards always like to gives excuses.

Want to act only.

give all sorts of shit to act passive in front of injustice.

TS,

It is very easy to differentiate between someone who really needs help & someone who is out to manuiplate others...

1) you just be their listening ears, use your eyes to get the full meaning of what they are saying

2) always remember what they have said before & in front of others

3) Combine & compare their behaviour & words

4) You know whether he/she is weak or manuiplative

Well i am also like that. But i guess there is a limit. Repeating the same thing 3000 times is tiring. If your BF is doing that to another girl, i suggest go with him also. Couples must have a basic level of trust.
