What’s an example from your life and experiences wherein you did NOT let someone else’s problems become your problems? ~

There was a day in the 6th grade that Mike grabbed Michelle's bottom and got in trouble for it.
I didn't make that my problem.

*an update to that bottom grabbing.  They did become boyfriend and girlfriend after that.  You could tell because they held hands at recess.  No bottom grabbing but hand holding. 

Oh here we go again.  I can tell you this right off.  I always feel guilty when I turn people away.   I mean what right do I have to do so?  But it is simply because I have so little free time and I am kind of busy.  

So, I am good at keeping people at bay.  What is going on right now is that I have a dear friend who just moved her ADHD butt right out of the state because she had another hair-brained dream she had to chase.  SIGH.   I just stopped calling her.  I am not going to rescue her.  She knows if she needs a safe landing place she can come here, but until that day, I am not involved.  I worry every day about her.  But she doesn't listen to anyone so what can I do? 

Folks, including strangers, love to talk about their medical issues. That is their problem, not mine.
