Introspective Moment

I'm bad at coddling people.

Don't sweat it...

Truth be told, the last thing most people need is more coddling - most of us actually need a kick in the ass more often than we need coddling :-)

So, in effect, you're doing them a favor by not coddling. It may not feel that way to them at the time, but sometime later they may thank you for it.

Oh, I wasn't necessarily saying this was a fault. I happen to agree with you. :-)
