A friend's behavior, including constant hugging and neglecting laundry, suggests deeper issues that may hinder her life. The friend should discuss these observations compassionately and offer support. This could lead to a conversation about underlying problems in her life. In a separate situation, a person's retired parents display heightened anxiety and struggle to fill their time, making interactions challenging for their family. The increasing symptoms create a strain during visits, indicating a need for conversation and intervention.
The hugging may be a personality quirk, but not doing laundry for a month suggests that there is a problem in her life economic, emotional, mental or logistical that's keeping her from maintaining healthy habits.
Talk to her about the store and then ask her, without judgment, if she needs help. Point out what you've noticed and, if need be, help her see how these things might be keeping her from the life she wants.
Your intervention could help Patty avoid something much worse.
Every year that goes by, their anxiety reaches new heights. It makes it exhausting to spend more than a day or two at a time with them.
