So I have been trying to put myself in a more relazed state of mind. It paid off today.
Lars comes to me and says his girlfriend just broke up with him.
I know Lars pretty well, his girlfriend only a little bit, but I watched them interact at the party so learned a shit load there.
So I basically have some ideas for what is going on, and why he needs to do. All being relazed about it, following the thoughts step by step and trying to come to beneficial and positive conclusions. I ask him probing questions about his relationship. I explain to him some things he needsd to appologize about. I got him to think of the issues of the relationships, not just the problems. I explained to him that he and his girlfriend could list faults of each other til the cows come home, this is a waste of time because you want to be together, why say "Well you're a bitch." I explained to him that you could both have ten problems between each other, that stem from three issues, but if all you're talking about is the problems, you are not getting any done.
I helped him think. This is what I like to do. I am secretly in love with thinking. I don't go around getting people to think all the time, but I do enjoy when I get to do it with them. It is fun for me.
Jesus christ I am tired. I can't even keep up this writing style anymore, it is getting annoying.
Suffice it to say after Lars got a pen and paper and wrote down what I was telling him, and then writing a bit more for himself, we were able to come up with what issue was bothering him, and in a positive tone. I sent him off to his girlfriend and told him to tell her this. It will be a good thing.
He comes back to me later and says that everything went really well, and now his girlfriend who didn't like me much now likes and respects me. It was beneficial, I was trying to work on the beneficial and I'm glad it succeeded. I told Lars to ask Marybeth if she knew any single sorority girls, because frat guys are fucking retarded.
