This can be true- as with the drug and alcohol abusing individuals I’ve known, but also not true, for those who have fallen on unexpected hard times. Just be smart.

Middle age people didn't have the benefit of social media in their early days. Keeping contact meant address books, Rolodex, birthday cards, etc. Not middle age but really wish I kept in contact with people from the pre internet days.

Well, you can do that. But that’s not how God loves. So, respectfully, I’m w/God. My good deeds are about who I am. I don’t weigh them w/anything but love. And generalizations are poison. I also help ppl out of the abyss as part of my work w/clients. It’s never too late. Peace.

or they've out lived both their family, and their usefulness once they were no longer in the position to help everyone else out. not everyone is blessed with young parents. and not everyone has siblings. bear that in mind as you make blanket statements.

Have to respectfully disagree: there are always going to be people upstream and folks downstream...regardless of age, if someone reaches for your hand, be wise, practice self care and good boundaries, and give them a hand - you never know when you'll need one yourself.

Not very charitable. But I am one of those who regret early life decisions, got betrayed by spouse and trying to rebuild against impossible odds. I don't ask for handouts but am more than willing to support those who need for barter.

1/ I was in my mid 40s when I got scorched discarded by a NPD. It was a gift (in hindsight) but if there had not been people willing to help out, I would have been committed. The NPD isolates codependents and we let our networks of friends go bc we are "addicted" to our NPD.
-
2/ I lost everything and by the time the smear campaign ended, I even lost my family. Just saying, Mike-yes I was a sick codependent, I let everyone go who could have supported me so I could avoid conflict with a NPD.
-
3/By Gods grace there was an older woman in recovery who had been through very much the same. She helped me piece my life back together...and I'll be forever grateful. I've learned that unresolved childhood trauma and neglect leave people like me...

Looking like adults, making adult decisions, with the maturity and relational skills of a three year old. So - in short, i disagree. Hurt people, hurt people - and that goes for the NPD who hurt me as well...

You’re wrong on this one man, I’ve made lots of friends older than myself and sometimes there is a “catch” but don’t we all have something going on? Everyone’s just doing the best they can.

Sometimes you are only good as long as you are useful. When the money dries up and health issues are serious, you get to see how fast they clear out. And sometimes you just know people that bite the hand that helps......

It's good to be compassionate, but you should do so in ways that don't put you at risk
