How do I handle trust issues when someone close won't listen to me?
Closeness has to be earned
A relationship in which you can intervene in someone's life has to be earned. If you are unable to intervene, understand that you have not earned that closeness.
I have to earn a relationship where I can intervene in your life. If you don't earn that, you cannot intervene. So if you're unable to intervene, just understand you have not earned that closeness.
