He’s been through a lot too, and he has self harm scars.
He keeps absolutely everything inside and refuses to talk to me about it. (Mother is a drug addict, not a good relationship with uncle, etc).
I tried talking to him about it, and he just full on stopped talking about it and switched topics.
He sometimes has these moments where he just starts talking, venting. Always going the opposite of what I say and always making negative thoughts toward everything and we start to argue about the stupidest and pointless stuff, but he never lets it go. Then he’ll just stop and be silent and apologize.
It’s upsetting to me because I want to help him so bad, but he won’t let ANYONE in.
I know he’s really messed up, and has some issues, but I’m always going to be there for him, so please don’t tell me I should leave him, because i’m not going to.
But does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make talking to him easier? Or just suggestions on how to make our relationship a bit smoother.
