The OP is admitting he has a problem, he's a person that can't connect in any meaningful way with adults. It's like asking a paraplegic to do a back flip. His entire personality is about young small people, his devotion rests with, and only with bonding with kids. It not personal, it just is... Instead you could be a little more empathetic and acknowledge this character trait, you could however offer "baby steps" that might bring them closer, but instead you bombard the guy with your logic, and assault him with accusations. He has an impediment, recognize it in all your "wisdom" and expertise in "analysis"... you are truly a piece of work. Remind him that family bonds are special, and how he could open a window, if in fact the door has been shut. It's called emotional intelligent, and perhaps like Romy, you too have an impediment? How does one that simply can't relate to adults because of a mental construct, or personality flaw get to the place you're speaking of? Perhaps through food? everyone has to eat... Adventure? learn together... theatre or arts? Everyone likes to be entertained... This guy is not like you, first recognize that above all. |
