Looking in a mirror.

About 11:00 I met a person who was staring coldly into a river and masked his pain by putting on a face. I saw through this and asked him if something was the matter and he broke down. So I invited him to come over and he agreed. Turns out he is basically in the same boat as I was, except he's been dealing with his soul numbing family for about 2 more years than I did. He's going to come over again tomorrow at about 9:00. I have no idea what to say... help?
 
I would usually say some words of comfort or suggestions, just one problem. You haven't told us anything. It sounds like you met a guy that has family problems? Is he in the same family as you? What exactly are his problems? What's up with your little staring into a river poem line?
 
Tell him wait a couple more years, then he'll be feel completely different about the situation. Now I laugh at the stupid bitch. My ex is still in my home, not really contributing much, just some cleaning. Before you girls attack me for belittling the cleaning, I do mean some. It would be cheaper to have a maid come in twice a week. She doesn't make any meals for me, but that's ok, her cooking always sucked. She's not that smart. She steals from me. The sex was never that good because she doesn't even know her own body. She's gullible to romantic words from some silver-tongued losers (one winds up marrying her sister :eek: ). Her family is just as fucked up as any you may have seen. I'm no prize, granted, but the worst they can say about me is I like to hang out with friends, drink and smoke a little weed. All in moderation, of course. Wine, women, song, can't be beat.

Are you still faithful to her still? Ha Ha Ha. Yeah, yeah, you and he are still in that denial phase and can't see how she is hardly a good person. This is my relationship I describe above, but maybe a couple of these things strike a nerve. Let the bitch go and get what she deserves.

You have got to stop meeting men at the river side and inviting them up to your place. Go out and find a girl. The world is full of them. I promise, you'll be laughing in a couple of years. The best revenge is to live well.
 
Say Hi! I think the point is to be his friend. someone he can talk to but also just hang out with and who can understand him. When he talks, listen. That's the idea. You don't have to say anything. Just be his friend.
 
If you still need something to talk about talk about school days, the people in your lives, work and weather.

What not to talk about to a stranger- sex, drugs, and politics.
 
Went great. Chatted for about 3 hrs. and got him to stop crying. Then played some video games. Then invited some friends over to play video games with us (mostly him). Then we all ate crackers and cheese. All in all it was very productive! He's going to be coming over every saturday now for about 5 hrs. I'm going to tutor him for 1 hr out of those 5 hrs (free tutoring is how I got his mother's consent). Additionally, he now has a group of friends who can look out for him. (I filled my friends in).
