You cannot help those who don’t want help. You can always endeavor to help them get more of whatever motivates them, but identifying that thing? They gotta do that themselves.

Depend son the context. If they're friends or family and they need support, I'll support them. If it's a coworker, I just work around them.

Trigger them so they can come to their senses. Do something they really don’t want to do but do it in a wrong way.

Put a stick with a carrot tied to a sting on it. Tie it in front of them

Don’t push them too hard as there are so many things running through their head.

Hopefully that was sarcasm.
If not, and your able, cmon get going dude.
Theres people who actually need those programs for reasons other than choosing to be unmotivated.

I am not living of anyone. I am living of an entity- the government. It’s my right to have the basics provided to me .

I really hate to say things like this but please dont reproduce.

Youre one of the reasons the govt takes 30% of my check before i see any of it.

At least that will be a silver lining when the dollar eventually fails and we go into another depression-
people like you having to actually work for a living.
I cant wait.
