And I mean also I've known a few junkies, and they often don't have people around them who care enough to do something like this cause they might not be the best people in general. Maybe this guy has enough strength of character both to kick whatever he's on and to attract someone willing to buy back his records and keep them until he's clean.

Yeah basically. Empathy is pretty hard when they're clearly acting like a scumbag.

That's the thing though. He's actually just a sad dude. I mean, I've been around drugs my whole life. Most of you guys know the story of my brother. This kid just seemed like, sad, you know? I wouldn't even call him a junkie. Just a dude with, most likely, a bad problem.

Sure but I'm speaking in general cause I know you and OH have dealt with junkies more intimately than just buying records from them when they need money for drugs.

You must always remember that everyone is an automaton and even if this doesn't help you it can help your interpretation of others.
