> Some people are profoundly broken – usually from life's harsh trials. Give yourself permission to remove them from your orbit. Their healing requires years of professional help, more than well-meaning friends and family can achieve.
If you give up on those people and cut them out, you're pretty much condemning them to continuing being broken.
This conflicts with the earlier advice of trying to be kind.
Don't let them control you but don't cut them out. Give them some of your time and some kindness. You never know how much time a "profoundly broken" person has left.
I've seen what happens to those who spend their lives trying to fix others.
No thanks.
