I cannot STAND people who do that. When they're like "ugh, I'm so ugly" or some other stupid **** I just be like

Ugh, At this point I say YES YOU'RE UGLY BITCH.


HE'S HOT AF, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND!!! I already said to him that he needs a therapist

If he says he's ugly then I would just agree with him. It will make him feel a lot better.

how old is he? if he's a teenager, he will grow out of it. if it's in his 20 and still puts up that ****, maybe he needs some therapy

I'm bookmarking this thread. My boyfriend has depressions and I'm out of options when it comes to comforting him..

Have him see a counselor.

He's older than me he's 23 and I'm 19. poor thing

I used to say him that he was wrong, but now I'm like "yeah, you're not beautiful an you're gonna die alone". I'm won't get into his game again.

I had a friend like this and I got her to see a therapist and just supported her through everything. I was there every single night until early in the morning comforting her and she's a lot better now. It was definitely a lot of work so you're going to need a lot of patience.

I also had another friend like this but he was so bad and abusive that I just left. Especially since he was never going to get help or even admit there was a problem.

Do you care a lot about him ?

I'm dealing with the same situation but with my sister, I've practically become her Dr Phil and it's exhausting

Omg same, whenever someone pulls that **** I'm like "Yes you are"

make him listen to BTW

How can you be so sure?

Actually, let me put it this way; would you bet his life on it?

In short, if your friend says that he wants to kill or hurt himself, and he doesn't sound like he's joking, always, always take it seriously. You can't help him if he's dead.

That said, don't keep feeding into his habit by saying nice things about him when he's fishing for compliments. If he hates the way he looks, maybe he needs to do something to change it. Encourage him to work out, or suggest some places he could shop for clothes.

Also, if you're his "only friend," then he needs to make more friends. Tell him to get off his ass and start putting himself out there. Or invite him to larger social gatherings and introduce him to some of your friends. He's clearly not happy with the life he has right now, so he needs to take steps to improve it.
