Respecting other's free will

[Diana]

...

My main thing is: every time this has come up with my friend, I feel the urge to tell them how their behavior makes me feel. However, lately I have begun to feel that I am violating this person's free will by saying this, because every time I do, it is clear that this person doesn't even want to see how I feel about it.

So it has become a bit of a Catch-22 situation for me. This person wants to "talk things out" with me, and yet... it's clear that they aren't willing to understand where I'm coming from, so what can I say? I don't want to violate their free will in this situation, if they truly do not want to see this.

The only option I see now..... is to simply be silent and do what I need to do for myself.

Does anyone resonate here with what I'm saying?

I think you can talk with this person or not, depending on what you want to do. The only consideration I see is that you have no expectations, and that you are not attached to any outcome (including this person understanding you).
