Talking to Strangers

Q:
Dear Sadie:

My friend Sadie (Oh; not her real name and not a real doctor) seems to be having trouble connecting with people lately.

I fear she may soon start begging strangers to listen to her!

What should I do?


-Concerned in Denver

A: Dear Concerned: (1) Take your friend to the park, (2) Leave her on a park bench. (3) Dress up like a stranger -- Abraham Lincoln or Britney Spears are good costumes. (4) Come up to your friend, while in disguise. (5) Start a conversation with her. (6) Connect with her, befriend her, get her confidence up. (7) Urge her to write you a big check. (8) Use the money to take yourself on a trip to Hawaii. You deserve to treat yourself well for being such a good friend. Remember to remove your disguise before you get to airport security!
-DR. Sadie
