Friend problem

Okay, so I have a friend who have Asperger's syndrome who has just been trolled kwa a lot of people. A bunch of people made an makala about him on ED (Encyclopedia Dramatica). He still seems very angry and doesn't want to get over it (its been over a mwezi since the article). I've been trying to help him, but the conversation (as in notes on the internet) keeps going back to ED. I've tried to keep the conversation on video games (his interest), reassuring him that the ED makala won't really ruin his reputation, and lots of other stuff. I really don't want him to be so angry =( Any advice?
[I'm not leaving him. We've been Marafiki for maybe over a year.]
If wewe don't know what Asperger's syndrome is, wewe might want to Google it ^^; And don't ask about the article; don't want any zaidi trolls for him.

Hi!

First of all, I think it's really great you're trying to help him with this! wewe are a good friend!

I know what Aperger's is (I know people who have it too), so I know it can be difficult. It's good that wewe try to talk to him about stuff wewe know he's interested in, but if he keeps pointing the conversation towards the ED article, maybe that means he really wants to talk to wewe about this. Maybe talking about it intensely will help him get this out of his system. If he lets the anger out, maybe it will be gone afterwards. Let him direct the conversation. If he starts talking about it, go with it, don't break it off au change the subject. Let him say what he needs to say (even if it's the same thing over and over), and tell him what he needs to hear.

With a friend like you, he doesn't have to worry about his reputation!

I hope this helped!

Love,

Eline

Ah...thats great ^^ Though, we do talk about the makala a lot. I'm just not sure if he does feel better about it (he seems to get angrier). Yeah, maybe I'll try talk to him a bit zaidi about it.

You're gonna have to wait this one out a little bit. People are gonna react however they want to, there's not much wewe can do about that. Just make sure to always stick kwa your friend, it would seem like he really needs a good friend. Maybe give him a new video game, he could get addicted to it and forget about the makala for a little bit.

Thanks for the advice ^^ He always say he can't do anything about it. I asked if he wanted to play a game au do something else. Guess I should just go with the flow.

wewe can go with the flow, as long as you're inayofuata to the friend. Does he actually want to talk about the whole ordeal?

I'm sure we'll have no trouble with that ^^ He has a handful of friends. We'll all try to help him out. He did it four years ago. Maybe he'll get over this later on.

wewe should probably tell off the people that made that article,and maybe ask if wewe can add one of those short story,if wewe do, write about how no one cares about the bad things and that alot of people out there care about the important things about " everyone in this situation" and that how no matter what wewe still care.

But they're ED people D: They made the makala as a joke (reason for the site). The makala isn't junk, taka to these people, so it'll stay on there. I just have to make sure my friend doesn't give any material for these ED people (whoever they are; they're all screen names). Though, I had done the other thing, I think.
