Specific examples and quotes of problem

“The answer eluded her, and she realized that her oversight of their contradiction made her not the caring counterpart, but part of the problem. Their frailty was displayed clearly. Her denial of it was not her compassion nor her patience, but her inadequacy and her ignorance. They had repeatedly demonstrated a certain limitation. To enthusiastically pretend like it was not there was not optimism, but a pretense. A falsehood. With the best of intentions, wanting to help them with their proclaimed desire, she was bending herself into a falsity.”
