1. Ask them if they need to vent or if they want some advice. Keep in mind that unsolicited advice don& #39;t work when people aren& #39;t ready for the truth & sometimes your truths aren& #39;t theirs because you don& #39;t live in their shoes, be mindful of that
2. Ask yourself if you& #39;re in the right mental space to help them. If you& #39;re feeling low, you shouldn& #39;t try to help someone because you& #39;ll be losing valuable energy you should give yourself instead. Don& #39;t fear telling people "no, sorry, I can& #39;t help you" when you dont feel good.
3. Be careful who comes to you, some people only show up when they need help because they know you& #39;ll be helping no matter what, these people are not there for you when you ask for help, & even if they don& #39;t owe you anything, are they real friends if it happens ALL THE TIME? No.
4. Pay attention to your own responses, sometimes we project a lot because we& #39;ve been through something similar but as I said, they& #39;re not you, we& #39;re all different, they might not listen to you & if they don& #39;t, it& #39;s their problem, they get to make their own choices, let them.
5. Conclusion : ask if they need to vent or if they need your opinion. be careful not to say yes to everything & everyone, especially when you& #39;re not feeling good yourself. don& #39;t let energy leeches drain you with their problem. don& #39;t project & don& #39;t let them project on you. -
- don& #39;t overworry for your friends if they don& #39;t listen to you because in the end you& #39;re on different journeys, let them do their thing, support them but don& #39;t make their situation your own.
