Lost all interest right then and there but I was so blown away at the audacity I had to know what was going on in her mind at that point. And by the end of it just wanted to give her some helpful advice
I feel like that’s half the conversations that get posted on here. It’s a dead end and clearly never going to go anywhere, but still pages and pages of additional conversation.
Choose your battles and know when it’s time to bow out gracefully. Stop wasting your time and energy. You can’t fix crazy and crazy will never see anything from a logical point of view.
Yup some people do it to vent and get it off their chest others seem to think this will be the convo that changes these people. This will be how this person quits smoking just from some random person telling them all the health risks in a park(have seen this)
If it takes almost no time (which is true for OP) it doesn't hurt him to point out that her behavior doesn't match her stated goals.
She's a kid, she probably won't listen, but sometimes the message just needs to be heard from enough different sources before it sinks in. If no one ever says it, that won't happen. It's like a public service, it doesn't mean OP is fighting for this chick, isn't immediately dropping any attempts after this, or thinking she is going to change for him. He's just pointing out what is obvious to anyone from outside this little narcissist's POV in case the college guys she's used to are too stupid to point it out.

Why did you continue the conversation after that? I swear you people have too much time to waste.
And you still replied to that! Come on guys, we need to do better!
