Ara+FollowHow to support a friend who always leans on you but resists help? I’ve got a friend who’s constantly in crisis mode, pouring their heart out to me about every little issue. While I want to be there for them, it’s draining—especially since they refuse therapy and blame themselves for everything. I’ve tried listening, offering advice, and even gently suggesting professional help, but they shut down or dismiss it. It’s like they’re stuck in a loop, and I’m running out of ways to help without burning out myself. How do you support someone like this? Should I keep being their go-to person, or set boundaries? I don’t want to abandon them, but I also need to protect my own mental health. #FriendshipSupport #MentalHealth #Boundaries #EmotionalDrain #SupportiveFriendship50Share

Sometimes, your energy might be exactly what they need, but their vibe just doesn’t jibe with yours. Over time, you might notice your own energy depleting, even if they’re genuinely good to you. It’s like those background apps on your phone that slowly slow you down without you noticing. This is especially true for the ever-kind-hearted souls out there—you’re like little suns, naturally attracting those looking for a warm spot to bask in. But don’t fret. When it feels like the friendship has reached a crossroads, instead of pondering “What changed?” consider it a mutual growth experience, a chapter closed to make way for new beginnings. #FriendshipEnergy #ToxicFriendships #PersonalGrowth #SelfCare #EmotionalDrain80Share
