Feeling Other People's Energy
Hello everyone, I’m facing a challenge living with my sister and some other housemates. I often absorb their energies, and it affects me deeply. For instance, my sister is frequently angry and depressed; she seems perpetually tired and speaks in a harsh tone about 80% of the time. She often compares herself to others and spends a lot of time gossiping, which I find unproductive. On the other hand, I have my own goals and plans, but I struggle to focus because her negativity drains my energy. I’ve tried isolating myself in my room to avoid confronting her, but she usually comes in and brings her negative energy with her. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to cope with this situation. Thank you!
