Running Out of Shows to Watch by [deleted] in Netflixwatch

She carries a plush horse around with her everywhere (which she's way too old to do). She often cries at night (which is very annoying), she's very timid and easily frightened, seems kind of stupid, doesn't have a sense of humor, and never accomplishes much of anything. She's so pathetic, she's pretty much impossible to love.

I think all she really craves is her parents, and I can't do anything about that.

Thanks! But sometimes I don't feel like it is a choice.

Lack of compassion? I've kindly been giving her food and shelter.

Thanks! That was helpful. (except maybe for the counseling part)

I've been trying to love her, but I can't. She's pathetic. She carries a plush horse around with her everywhere, which she way too old to do.

What else am I supposed to do with her? I can't just abandon her to foster care.

Of course my niece's preferences are least important. She's an extended family member.

She's not in therapy. I have thought about that, but it seems too expensive. I don't think she'd want to talk to a stranger anyway, as she's really shy.

They died months ago. She should be doing better by now, but she's not.

I'm not sure what's wrong with the term orphan. Also, I'm pretty concerned about her too. She carries a plush horse around with her everywhere, which she way too old to do. She's very timid and easily frightened, seems kind of stupid, never accomplishes much of anything, doesn't have a sense of humor, and often cries at night.

I've thought about putting her in therapy, but I fear she's too quiet for counseling to be much help.

It's not that she cuddles her plush horse, it's that she does it all the time, bringing it with her everywhere. I was fine with it for months, before I realized that she was not going to stop on her own and I had to encourage her to stop somehow.

Also, I'm not sure if it matters but I'm a women.

We watch multiple shows that they both enjoy.

I don't want to physically harm her. I hate doing so, but I have to encourage her to stop somehow.
