Protect Your Peace: Avoid These 3 People

Three types of people you should never

share your emotional struggles with. And

the third one is the worst. Number one,

the minimizer. You say, "I feel

anxious." And they say, "Everyone does.

Don't be dramatic." Uh, you say, "This

hurt me." And they say, "It's not a big

deal." These people don't mean harm, but

they lack emotional depth. They train

themselves to suppress emotion. So, they

end up shaming you for expressing yours.

Number two, the competitor. Every time

you open up, they one up. Their pain is

always bigger, louder, and longer, so

yours gets dismissed again. These people

make your struggle feel invisible.

Number three, the gossiper. They act

like a safe space, kind, curious, and

warm, but later your story becomes their

conversation. They trade your

vulnerability for sounding relevant. And

here's what you should observe. If they

gossip about others to you, they will

gossip about you to others. So remember,

not everyone deserves your

vulnerability. You don't owe people

access to your inner world. Share only

where there is safety, compassion and

respect.
