What Do You Do?? Advice

[Parche]

I know of this person who is unemployed now, since I have been through that situation
before, I have been giving them hopefully uplifting suggestions.
They still have no employment, my situation is fantastic now and I told them this
is what could happen if you work at it, you can make it and be in the position that
I am in now.
So they get all mad at me for my good fortune now, as they are still unemployed.
I understand their feelings, but there is not a lot I can do for them
job wise.:cry:
What would you do in this situation? :shrug:

1. Give that person some room.

He or she is obviously going through a trying time and is not where you are financially or professionally. It's not your fault, but I can see how this person might feel inadequate in your presence. :)

2. Your friend is not mad at you for your "good fortune"

Your friend is mad at you for offering your "uplifting suggestions". When someone is down, the last thing they want is a comparison to someone who is doing better than them.

Instead of your suggestions, you might want to just lend your friend a supportive ear, a hug, maybe a nice dinner.

Since you asked, that is my opinion. Have a good evening.
