hi! it's currently summertime in my country, so we're on a school break for 3-4 months. we're two months in now. my partner has graduated from high school a month ago (i'm their underclassman). recently, they've been applying for part-time jobs to save so money before college starts and i've been encouraging them to do so. but they've said that they felt like shit because of not being productive this break. i understand that they're much more used to doing something esp since they're really active in acads and extracurriculars (like president of student council). and i noticed that it's really getting to them now. they wouldn't let me help them and i'm getting worried about them. i tried giving them comforting messages but all they've said was that they didn't need a pep talk.
so, what can i do? i'm really really getting worried about them. the part-time jobs they've applied to haven't come back to them yet (they js sent them a day ago), but i've told them to wait a little more. it's really getting to them now 🙁 as their girlfriend, i feel very helpless. what can i do? please help me 🙁
tl;dr: partner feels like shit for being unproductive and idk what to do bc they wouldnt let me help them
