How quickly does it feel like whatever is happening to them is happening to YOU?

Man oh man. I have got to break this cycle. I have a long time friend who literally shreds my consciousness with her drama and negativity. I ruminate over her stuff like a weirdo. Her life is a mess but mine isn’t! Every phone call is a stinking crisis. It helps when we don’t talk. I pray for her all the time. Your work is so enlightening. Much love to you sis. ❤

I'm so glad it was helpful 💕 I also have this video on ways to deal with difficult folks (especially complainers): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoGsiJWajpWNo5o

[@ClariBerry]

It’s almost instantaneous 😔 which is why I don’t always pick up phone calls anymore.

[@terri_cole]

I see you ❤️

[@MishkaTia]

Gosh I make it my crisis this is something I have had to unlearn and still struggling with

[@terri_cole]

I see you 💕

[@GD-cr5um]

I reply saying im busy because they know im going through a worst crisis and they want to emotionally dump their toxic marriage issues with circular conversation

[@j.dujournal]

Immediately, unfortunately, but I tend to keep a cool head even in a crisis which is why I presumed they called me

[@terri_cole]

Yep, this is tricky to navigate when people actually do want your help!

[@Sunpg]

Never. I never feel another person’s problem is mine. If it is a friend and they need my help, I will be there for sure to support and give them a shoulder to cry but their problem is their problem not mine.

[@terri_cole]

Sounds like a healthy approach!

[@Sunpg]

@@terri_cole thank you, sometimes people think I am detached and cold.

[@divinadivina2017]

And you're unconsciously addicted to it...

[@terri_cole]

Yep!

[@curious_cat.empath5128]

too damn quick

[@terri_cole]

I see you 💕
