Scenario

When one friend's neediness overwhelms the entire group

Our friend group has someone who dominates every conversation and makes everything about themselves, but they're also going through a really hard time and we all care about them. We're getting exhausted by the dynamic but nobody wants to be the one to say something because it feels cruel when they're already struggling.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Compassion can become a trap when it prevents the very honesty that might actually help everyone, including the person who is struggling.
