Are you the trash can of your friends?

The Let’s Create Joy Podcast - Un pódcast de Ronja Sakata

On a day, when your friend again calls you and dumps all their emotional trash onto you, you don’t feel joy at all. It’s a nagging feeling of AGAIN?? The same problem as always? On and on they go when you’d rather go for a walk or take a bath or even get some work done. But now you have this complainer and whiner at the phone and it SUCKS. Well. The good news is: YOU decide who is allowed to talk with you on the phone, for how long and about what.  The bad news is: YOU have to decide all that and tell your friend directly and boldly, otherwise, you know it… nothing changes. You were patient long enough. The biggest trick for me is to think through the situation with: What do I actually want? What would be ideal for me?  Listen to the episode and head over to the blog for more on this topic and 8 practical reactions that you can try right away when you find yourself in such a situation next time! https://www.joyismycompass.com/blog/trashcan
