Are you an emotional dumpster?

[Simslover92]

Where people unload their emotional baggage on you a lot.

I feel like as of late I am an emotional dumpster. People seem to unload a lot of information on me. It can be quite overwhelming at times.

[MrOracle]

Sometimes. I've long been considered "the wise one" that my friends, family, and even sometimes my friends' families come to for advice and wisdom, and that naturally means I sometimes have to hear their tale of woe in the process. But part of MY process is to hold them accountable for their own actions and choices, because even though they often don't see it or don't want to see it, they nearly always play a role in whatever bad happened. I do my best to make them take accountability, though I don't always succeed. I don't tend to keep trying to help those who don't take accountability, though.

[Circushowcowboy]

Yea it can be that way. And then they never have the time to hear me vent

[Simslover92]

Yep usually goes that way for me as well.

[Circushowcowboy]

Yea I really question if some relationships are worth holding onto

[Simslover92]

Yeah me too

[MemeSupreme]

i used to be growing up with my mom and some friends. its very exhausting bc they dont have the ACTUAL self-awareness to know they're doing too much (they might say it but they'll continue it)

not really anymore bc i set boundaries if it gets too much. i used to not be like that but the more i did it, the easier it got

[NordicInScandinavia]

Yup, both professionally and private. I'm the one people go to when needed. Privately, I have people who respect me, so they always check in if it's an appropriate time to unload on me so I don't get overwhelmed.

[Dongie]

Oh, Father God, help! I have two renters who fight like brother and sister and she ALWAYS comes crying to me. I told them I'm not their parent. Sunday is got bad and she said he hit her in the chin and she bit her lip. Shortened version after I called the cops when I couldn't find him she told the cops she flicked his hat off! 🫩✝️ So now it turns out he responded by flicking her chin. She bit her lip because she was flapping that big mouth. Now I have to figure a way to get the charge of domestic violence dropped. Did I say 🫩✝️

[MannMitAntworten]

People share a lot with me. I wouldn’t necessarily label it as emotional unloading. Just being open I suppose. Granted, some gets deep into the weeds. Still, I wouldn’t call it emotional unloading. I have one friend who tends to bitch a lot with me about work and his employee and my boss overly expresses his criticisms of every customer who walks in, is as close as it gets with emotional unloading for me I think.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I used to often listen to my toxic friends and relatives pour their gripes on me about issues they should be able to resolve themselves.

I still listen but no longer to those toxic people.

[Lynx122]

Nope I try to keep things even but some times I vent more :) But some people are also not great at communicating what's bothering them so then I don't take responsibility for that :P

[Flower7]

Yes but I do not mind. I like when people tell me about their problems and what is going on in their life. It’s interesting to me.

[FreyaRed]

Yes because I'm good in pretending being empathic. On the other hand my logic offers often realizable solutions to their personal problems.

[Shiprex]

Not to my knowledge. I'll tend to suggest solutions instead of let folk emotionally unload their whinges on me. Process internally and then choose without burdening folk.

[sage2021]

I used to be in my younger days. On the phone after working 9 hours and talking to them about men for hours at a time.

[emeraldsaphire]

lol all the time! I don't mind, and I unload a lot of emotional stuff onto my friends. I'm a hot mess, but therapy and meds are helping lol

[Staximus]

Sometimes, but I've been isolating myself from those kind of people lately. Everybody always wants to me to fix their problems.

[BeechImFabulous]

I do seem to get dumped on quite a bit by women. They have bad experiences and then vent their frustrations / anger on me as though I were the perpetrator.

[Xawyx-2]

Yes, I used to be just like that, but now they stopped, and I feel a bit better.

[Grond21]

Sometimes I am, but I don't often mind it. I am in training to be a therapist after all.

[msc545]

People often try to do this with me for obvious reasons.

[Anonymous]
