How do you tell a person who is too involved in something to stop?

Tough one, I knew someone like that and they are stubborn, that is their nature.  Well, you could have close friends that  that person respecs and know that would not do anything to hurt him all sit in a room and tell him the problem, be honest, speak with love, and he may not be open right away, but it will help in the long run, it creates a lasting impression that all your friends thought it was a problem enough to get together and tell him about it.  Change is slow in a human, especially when the behavior started a long time ago.

tell them you didnt do it, tell them the truth, and if the person who did do it is just getting you in trouble, tell the person who really did it. then again if you want to take the blame, then just go with it and the other person might owe u one for sticking up for them

Talk with her, let her know how you feel and ask her to stop doing it. Word it in a way that doesn't sound critical and she'll be more apt to listen.

Unfortunately as we all know we can not make anyone do something that they do not want to. I would speak to a psychologist in person and ask them what they think the best way is going about to encourage the person to seek help. This is their job and I am sure they have had numerous people approach them in their field asking them the same question.

Ask her to stop.  That's pretty much all you an do.  Either she respects you enough to listen or not.

Gently tell her what you told us.  You should not be forced to do what you're not ready for.  It's not like you're ruling it out - you're just not ready.

i know how you feel about that and I have tried explaining it to the person that i don't feel respected by but he doesn't understand or maybe doesn't want to understand my point.\nThey probably don't mean anything by it no harm or so but they need to stop.. I agree on that but how to show them and make them realize to stop i have no idea sorry. It is very very hard to do.

Believe me he's just doing this just to see how far you'll let it go. But if you are uncomfortable with this then tell him to stop. If he does not stop then you need to stop talking to him on the phone until he can talk to you like he got some sense.

You need to apply your own limits, also to understand the causes or the situation that did trigger him with this feeling, its his problem not yours but is important that communication to understand him better.

There's a old saying:\n"Listen to too much advice and you end up making other people's mistakes."\n\nTake advice under consideration, but let the final call be yours.

Show them that actions have rewards and consequences and each individual is responsible for their own actions. Teach them this by setting clear rules with clear consequences when not followed and rewards when they are. It's really as simple as "if you want me to do this, then I expect you to do that" or "I let you have xyz freedom and you didn't follow the rules, so you will have to re-earn xyz freedom"\nMy friend has a teen son who repeatedly takes her car and brings it home hours late without even calling her, I told her to tell him " I'm sorry, you are not allowed to use my car, because I can't depend on you to get it home on time. Find another way to go" If she would show him that she planned to stick to it, he would learn. But she never stood by any rules, that's why he does her that way. You don't have to be mean, just firm and consistent.

Well, there are times when you have to say "enough is enough."  You can be patient and forgiving. That is a good quality in a person, but don't let people abuse you or walk all over you.  At some point you need to say, "look, you have messed up a lot and because I care about you as my firend, I've overlooked it, but you're hurting out friendship and I'm getting tired of it. Respect me more or lose me as your friend."  Don't say "this is your last chance" because then it is only a matter of time... just let them know that you're getting tired of them being stupid.

Shut up is a strong word, if said when u really mean it. Wait till ur brains like getting cooked, you know, you just cant hold it anymore with this other person blabbing away, ur listening to things ure not interested in, you try ur best to be polite and still it continues and then...bang!!! u just cant take it anymore...and then i think its ok to say ''SHUDDAAAPPP !!''

1. Talk to the person about the problem. Do they see what they area doing? Do they understand the consequences to others of their behavior?\n2. What is their response to this discussion? Do they acknowledge the problem and want to help solve it? OR is it a 'too bad, that's the way it is' answer? \n3. If they want to try and solve it, then you will need to come to a compromise about time, labor, money etc. \nIf they have a too bad so sad attitude, then the way to deal with it is to leave.
