Do the majority of your interactions with others in life drain you?

[HawkPerception]

What interactions in your life usually don't drain you?

Yes

No

[avery58]

Sometimes. I'm an INFJ so tbh I like to spend time alone to myself sometimes, but then your friends and partner think you're ignoring them. I need peace and quiet, and space sometimes.

[HawkPerception]

You and me both. Even with a partner, I need my space sometimes. Speaking as an INTP here

Not really because the draining interactions you speak of I eliminate them from my life as soon as i become aware they're draining.

[DishLady]

Some people (emotional vampires) ARE draining. But no, I can chat with you and a handful of people all day without feeling weary. Friends are meant to uplift (even if the convo is charged or challenging). Those who don’t aren’t friends.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

Honestly, no - I am pretty good at keeping deletery people out.

That said, I do keep up interactions with a woman who drains me - in a good way.

Only confrontations or high energy interactions are draining. Talking and hiking are draining because they're high energy together.

Fights or conflicts and confrontations are draining because they butting heads.

But high energy or conflict interactions are few and far. Most of life is 5 out of 10.

Yes, it seems so now that I'm older. That goes for everybody.

It may stem from the stress I'm undergoing with all the doctors I've been seeing this past year. It clogs my mind. I had 5 appointments in 10 days with the day before yesterday being the 5th one. It stressed me out what with 3 being 50 plus miles away.

The ones that don't drain me do but the actual interaction can be fulfilling at a grwater rate than draining.

[Ironco]

No, I try and get a long with others and help out as many as I can.

Sometimes I get taken advantage of, but I power through it.

I try to stay up beat and friendly.

[queenofcardio]

No. I'm a chatter box

[Panthero80]

If I were constantly drained, I couldn't get out of bed.
