This is the basic problem I have with the "be their best friend" approach (other than the small detail of "It rarely works"):

You can TELL them, a lot of things. But what you are showing them by the friendly behavior is that "He seems okay with this. This is going to be fine. HE's going to be fine. This will all work out how I want it to."

We all teach each other on here to "Believe none of what they tell you, and only half of what they do." If we think WASs aren't doing the exact same thing, we're deluding ourselves.
