Yeah, sorry about that..........

I didn't mean to escalate that, terribly sorry.

O_O

Yeah, Ian talked to him in January, but it appears he didn't listen.

O_O

Greenie: You never said a truer word.

We have to remember that Lax is younger, and maybe doesn't have the best role models though. I'll try talking to him (even though I've got a bad feeling about it), and try to find out what's really bugging him.

You know, he's not a bad kid. (I'm not talking to anyone in particular). He tries to do everything himself, and while that's not bad, sometimes you need to let things slide. Some people are more easily offended then others.

Yeah, and I'm very sorry if I caused more problems than were necessary.

Although he's told me before that he's a Christian, but he really doesn't seem to act like it.
Later today I might try to ask him what's going on IRL.

G-man: Since he deleted the messages, I don't really know what happened, but your responses were measured and careful. You were doing just fine, 👍

He has? Well, he definitely doesn't act like he's not a Christian, but he doesn't express it that much. If that's the case, we should try to build him up, and not focus on what he's done wrong, but what he should be doing. It's a tough line to walk, though.

Yeah. Last time, I had to tell him that we all make mistakes, but that we all need to apologize for it. I don't think he ever apologized though. This time we were talking about how he didn't need to report everything to Scrubs.

O_O

Greenie: Well said.

@Greenie: Thanks for that advice! When I talk to him, I'll try to do so carefully.

O_O

Yeah. Mecabricks is for builds. It's also a community. Every community has trouble, but can still function. but if you seek that trouble out, it causes problems.

Also, another thing I've noticed is that Lax tries to solve problems for other people. But when other people try to help with his problems, he gets angry. I think that if we can get Lax to let us help, stuff might go smoother.

G-man: That's a good idea.

Well, I'm trying, but I'm not really having any success. He's not telling me anything and really doesn't seem to care whether or not anyone helps him.

Me and all the other people on the MB forum are here to help you and be your friends, but you have to let us help you. You've recently been trying to solve everyone else's problems while running from your own. As your friend, I am rather concerned for you, but you haven't been letting anyone help you. You haven't let Ian help, you haven't let me help, you haven't let the entire forum help. We are here to help, but you have to let us know what's going on.

I'd still prefer not to share it.

You still need to get it off your chest. Bottling it up will only hurt you, and everyone else more.
Lax_Swag5 Today 08:38
Maybe I have shared some stuff. With the right people.
Today 08:40 Guitarman2
I am trying to help. I'm just wondering what happened to my friend. Because as of right now, your actions are not helping our friendship and definitely not showing that you're a Christian.
Lax_Swag5 Today 08:41
Maybe I hardly show I'm Christian?

Is that a big deal?
Today 08:42 Guitarman2
Actually, yes. The Bible specifically tells us to act out our faith.
Lax_Swag5 Today 08:44
Maybe I'm not listening to the bible in that case.
Today 08:45 Guitarman2
Lax, man, I'm sorry. But I don't know how I can help if you won't actually tell me what's going on.
Lax_Swag5 Today 08:46
I don't need your help.

This is my attempt. Anyone got any suggestions?
