Quote: I said she had better insight to her comfort level than I did and always made the right decision in the past. I think I used the words "common sense" in there someplace.
BB said thanks for the compliment and went on to say she thought she had more "common sense" than many people had.
This is sweet.
If someone is fishing for attention, for God's sake, give it to them! All most people really want is to be SEEN and HEARD.
To resist giving her a positive stroke when she is so desperate is mean. It's not "rescuing." Rescuing is doing someone's work for them, i.e. doing something they could/should be doing for themselves. Complimenting someone is not doing their work for them.
