i don't know. i push people away too.

Be there for them when they do ask for you.

PRAY! Hard...! Repeat...!

Its hard but be patient and don't give up. Whatever is going on in that persons life will hopefull subside and you will be embraced into their life again or they will realize they need your support. Good Luck, just be patient.

Just let them know that you are there and that you care. Not much more you can do,

just be availiable for them, call, send email, but give them space. you can't get closer until they let you in.

Such people assume that you will abandon them anyway so they don't want to go through the pain. Be there, be there, be there...it will take time

They push away cause they want to ba alone, just wait a little until they get over the situation.

ok i kind of have some friends going through the same thing....i say just give things alittle break... cause that's exactly what they want

if you are sure that they're really worth it, you will (unfortunately) get used to hanging out kinda in the background while they re-compose or whatever the hell they do.
but don't let yourself be a doormat; don't let this person treat you like crap anymore than your normal friends would.
that is to say everybody has good & bad days. sometimes i need to isolate to re-charge, but i don't treat the ones i love like they are my personal toys that i can manipulate and treat them well only when it is convenient to me.
you make certain allowances for certain people and their "certain" personalities, but if they love you back, they won't take advantage of you or take you for granted.
i hope this helps somehow. good luck dealing with your difficult loved one.

some people dont want to be bothered by others and need the silence to try to think their lives out. and some people just dont feel they need to go on when there doesnt seem a purpose to their life.. this can happen at any age. and as myself i am in limbo.. but if i was in this limbo and age 69 instead of 49, i think i would find myself having a hard time dealing with it. especially when it seems life feels as if it has run out of time. you can only help someone who is willing to be helped. but usually it has to be someone who has some experience in the spiritual type of way ..or a person who has been there in that way and knows the right things to say. but i am sure in all cases it takes time for people to come around. and there is no set limit of time either. could be weeks months or years. you can only try to help by jogging their mind. forcing them will only cause resentment towards u.. good luck

Just be there even if silently. Keep going back.They are pushing you away because they are low inside they are crying out for help support comfort and understanding and you.Trust me.

When we go to the College, at the outer doors of the subway station and the streets usually there are at least two policemen, I don't know why during these years, they are often replaced by Ambulances, Old man's medical car and the angry fire trucks.
I don't need the help of an old man's medical car, or ambulances.
It is not naccessary to have two empty fire trucks with 120 db noises with a police car comming together every hours.
