"I can't, because of my hand. My hand hurts so much. Life sucks because of this hand."

"You should go to a doctor to show your hand"

"No! It won't help anything! And it costs money. And I don't know how to or want to anyway."

I've seen that too, where the person doesn't want to actually even try to help themselves.

Which of course is a symptom.

“My leg is broken” “Then walk to the hospital, duh” “I can’t, my leg is broken” “Why are you choosing to live in pain?!”

"Well you could call a taxi"

"I don't know how to besides it costs money and time..."

"Well fine, I could drive you"

"No I got other stuff to do."

"Just give me a time and I'll do it"

"I don't know when ugh..."

At that point people will just stop trying since it's always the same wall.
