You can empathize with them without putting yourself out there to help.
There is plenty on your plate to deal with, without the additional complexity of someoneâs problems.
A diplomatic answer is âIâm sorry thatâs the situation youâre in, but we currently donât have the time and capacity to helpâ. If this person persists and keeps asking âwhy notâ, maybe stop talking to them. âNoâ is a complete sentence.

i think Iâm just gonna take some space from them tbh. The mental load of just being with them and seeing the struggle was a lot. Came home and joked with the mrs âI know weâve got our hands full some times, but maaaan that really puts things in perspectiveâ.

As we get older, we realise that not everyone is a positive addition to your life. Obligations to friends (and family) diminish as you start looking out for yourself and your family.

yeah 100%. Got a full time job of being a dad. Can help others float but not at the risk of being pulled under with them.
