He tends to lie to himself about what the outcome will be, blame others when it doesn't work, waste time with people who can't help him (but he thinks they can,) and move on to something else, never fully committ to one idea, and he hasn't been willing to work and support his ideas like ALL the other artists do in this town.
I won't let myself get sucked into his delusions any longer. I won't let him think that I believe them either. I wanted to be supportive, but when will this ever end???

No problem. I'm glad my bluntness didn't offend you.
This is just something I feel pretty strongly about. Society tends to encourage us to "follow our dreams" without giving serious pause as to what kind of work those dreams will entail. You seem to know what I'm talking about, if you know other artists around town.
Some people think that my school work is easy because all I do is write papers. They have no idea about all the agonizing research and thought that goes into them. Maybe that's why I get so worked up about this sort of thing, lol.
Anyway, it sounds like you know what you
should do, but that it's a matter of actually doing the right thing. We've all been there. Good luck to you!
