Odd statement, with the "/or" part. Changing the behavior of adults without their active cooperation is compulsion, not behavioral modification. I mean, we do it in prisons and boot camps, but that's not a solution here.
- squigz 9mo agoI don't believe GP meant it like they're physically forcing their friend to change - just that there's a big difference when someone recognizes their problem and is trying to solve it; and them not doing so, where you can still encourage them to fix the problem regardless.
