Damon didn't follow Elena in season two when she was on a martyr tear -- which personally I see as something a friend should do, even if his methods were not okay
Huh, I didn't think about that! Thank you for pointing it out. I guess Damon's selfishness could be an explanation: he will be ok with whoever Elena choses to be just to be close to her, but first she has to live. So yes, he did stop her in s2, because he couldn't let her die or damage herself physically. But I don't think that's how he would behave if we were talking about psychological damage. Brutally speaking, the more damaged she is, the closer to Damon she will find herself. The lower she gets, the "better" for him. He is not actively malicious against her and he wouldn't push her to fall, but he won't exactly make an effort to stop her. He will follow. What do you think?
Oh, and that's why I do. :')
You and me both!
Thank you so much! Your comment made me feel all warm and, you know, wanting to be nice to people ;).
