can anyone help me understand my friend. Has anyone else seen this in smart people around them.
I feel so helpless that i cant help my friend.
I dont understand even why he is like he is.
He is way smarter and handier than most people, yet cant seem to make important things happen.
he is in the most fortunate position of owning an investment property,
yet its been vacant for 5 months for no real reason.
If it was me i'd get a painter and someone to change a blind and carpets done within a week or two fast and rent it fast and have that income of some 400 a week coming in each week.
But they cant seem to get their act together to do that.
I dont know if they are so fixated on using a particular painter who stuffed them around
or if they are anxious depressed dont prioritise
or if this is their passive aggressive way at getting back at a controlling relative who keeps nagging them to get it done already.
I noticed them do the same with their tax return. They would go out to any invitation, any distraction, wasting time week after week, while saying they need to get it done, instead of staying home and doing it. They'd leave it till they were more and more under pressure. Again it seemed like some passive agressive way of getting back at a controlling relative who would remind them to get it done.
They would never hand over their keys and let some caring friend do it for them,
and they'd be too perfectionistic/controlling about every detail and find things to fight about probably if someone did want to help.
I wish i could help them but i cant. Meanwhile they are in a terrible and unstable job and this extra income, say some 400 a week would help them, hey, it would help anyone.
5 months worth would be some $9000
I cant understand why someone so smart, and so lucky to have achieved an investment property, cant set priorities to within 2 weeks get it painted, carpeted, blind changed and rented.
does anyone else know people like this ?
