The other day on the bus I sat next to a man who was quite drunk.
(I am er... IDK -  EDNOS and pretty skinny.  I am also a very much ON the wagon, recovering alcoholic).
I usually hate drunk people, but for some reason I was comfortable with him when he spoke to me (as drunks always do).  He reached out to me and said basically -

The only possible reasons for you to follow this up would be because you get something from his/their company or because you are bored and fancy taking on a social project. Don't go see them because you feel bad and responsible.

1. Happiness comes from avoiding situations and people that you know will make you feel bad.
2. The responsibility matter is a bit more nuanced. Did you feel a connection with him, do you have faith in that connection? Also what vibe did you get off the gf? She's part of the package. Examine your responses to these people v. carefully. 'Cause you're going to be in the thick of it if you chose to help, and if any aspect of you is mistrustful, stay the hell away.

Sometimes that can be a good thing, brutal honesty. At least you know you look sick and you are sick and it's not all in your head.
As a hypochondriac thats something thats often so confusing for me. but I came downstairs this morning and my brother told me "I looked like death"
Charming.

These people honestly sound like they want your help. But it's up to you obviously, I guess all you can do is tell them about your experience. Maybe meet up on neutral ground?

i really didn't have much to say to this post because i thought it would be taken badly. i think that you should stay away from them, and not answer any numbers you recognise as coming from them.

i'm glad that he made you think in a realistic way, you are thinner obviously than you imagine yourself to be.

but i think that he and his partner probablt know the help options that are available to them, and that you will stop thinking about yourself if you are in a position to help them.

look after yourself, i give people the benefit of the doubt all the time, but if i was in your situation i think that in this circumstance i would give them numbers to call, and continue to look after myself.
