Ways To Deal With People Who Are Emotionally Draining

• Talk to them less frequently

• Mute them on social media 

• Allow their calls to go to voicemail

• Leave texts unread until you feel like addressing them

• Unfollow them on social media

• Designate a set time that’s best for you to talk

• Allow them access based on your ability to tolerate them

• Understand your emotions (what are you feeling and why?)

• Be assertive about what they can do to make the interactions more pleasant (you can ask people to change, but you can't force them to change)
