I’m a counsellor – here’s 6 ways to stop other people’s stress from dragging you down
“Give yourself that moment to breathe, as opposed to reacting — this can be very useful.”
But if you find yourself thinking: ‘I feel drained. That’s the second time this week they’ve offloaded on me’, ask yourself: ‘Is this friendship really working for me?’” says Ammanda. If you feel you have a good friendship, you should feel able to raise the imbalance. “Hopefully, that will give you the opportunity to say: ‘Can I ask you to stop? I’ve had a terrible day as well. I’d hoped I might share my stress with you. I feel it’s a bit one-way at the moment. What do you think?’ They might not agree, in which case, think about how much time you really want to spend with them,” adds Ammanda.
However, chances are, you’re used as a stress dumping ground. “When people tell us about stressful things, we want to give advice, and that’s fine. But what often happens is they just present you with the same problem two weeks later.
