Can leaving on your friends too much be the thing the ends the relationship?

Let’s be real—your friends are NOT your therapist. 💡 While friendships should be supportive and open, constantly emotionally dumping on your friends can push them away and create friendship burnout.

We all need to vent, but when every conversation turns into trauma dumping, it can make people feel drained, overwhelmed, and responsible for your emotional well-being. If your friends are avoiding you, it might not be that they don’t care—it could be that they’re exhausted from always playing therapist.

🔥 In this episode, we’re breaking down:

✔️ The difference between venting and emotional dumping

✔️ Signs your friends are emotionally exhausted from you 🚩

✔️ Why friendships fail due to oversharing

✔️ How to set healthy boundaries & maintain strong friendships

💡 Friendship is about support but also balance. If you’re constantly offloading your struggles, it might be time to ask: Are you seeking support or just emotionally draining the people around you?

💬 Be honest—have YOU ever been guilty of emotionally dumping on friends? Let’s talk below! 👇

In this episode of A Girls Perspective, we’re giving our take on how to really confide in your friends. Should you tell your friends about your relationship problem? I’d it okay to trauma dump on your friends? What you should do if you are the friend that is acting as sounding boards little too often. Jade and Jocelyn’s differing lives with separate friend groups will add a diverse perspective on the topic of friendships and how to handle them.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with talking about your feelings and struggles with your friends. But should you be using them as a way to make yourself whole or work through traumatic experiences?
