Didn't I cover this already?
She doesn't listen to them.
She has made her own decision already based on her relationship with you up to this point.
She talks to them, she shares her feelings/emotions with them, they are her friends, they agree with her, they may even make suggestions which she'll be open to considering, short sighted ones at that but in the end it's to make her feel better.

I told you already, she's "in love" with her feelings, she believes what she is doing is the right thing to do and her friends agree with her because they want her to feel better, they're not going to fight with her, they're going to encourage her to do what "feels" right.


I already know all this . . . and I'm also aware that when people are encouraged to do "what feels right" to them in the first place . . . they often do it. Hence, my wanting to understand this particular part of my problem.

That's not actually true, even by Michelles standards. Some things are, but not everything.

Cheap shot noted.

As I've said about half a dozen times or more . . .I'm not looking for advice. I'm looking to hear peoples actual experiences with attempting to mitigate damage relative to their discussions with friends. But . . .for some reason people keep trying to give me advice . . .which I didn't ask for, and don't particularly want.


Life may be short, but . . . well . . . it actually IS short, now that I think about it . . . . particularly when compared to planetary formation and stuff.
