Which of course is a symptom.

“My leg is broken” “Then walk to the hospital, duh” “I can’t, my leg is broken” “Why are you choosing to live in pain?!”

Then you carry them to the hospital and they don't want to get treatment but they sure as hell want you to keep carrying them around. Been in that situation and it really sucks.

"Well you could call a taxi"

"I don't know how to besides it costs money and time..."

"Well fine, I could drive you"

"No I got other stuff to do."

"Just give me a time and I'll do it"

"I don't know when ugh..."

At that point people will just stop trying since it's always the same wall.

Their comments don't make it seem so. Nobody says they've tried to help him, only that he should get over it.

A therapists saying about behaviors like this is "then the suffering isn't big enough yet."
