Hi, you could begin by assessing how the friendship affects you, noting signs of toxicity such as persistent negativity or manipulation. Clearly communicate your boundaries and seek support from trusted individuals. If your efforts to address the issues with your friend are not successful it may be appropriate to consider ending the friendship. Remember, choosing to distance a is decision to prioritize your mental health and surround yourself with positivity. Trust your instincts and prioritize self-care as you navigate this process.

Hey there, hope you're doing well. Navigating confrontations in friendships can be tricky but you'll need to recognize signs of invalidation or even disrespect to know if the friendship is worth maintaining. Try having an open communication with your friend in case there are communication issues but if you still don't feel validated, then you need to realise that it might not be beneficial to you to stay in that relationship. You can set boundaries and let them know what behavior of theirs is unacceptable to you. Self care should be a priority even in case of friendships. You can also talk to a therapist who can help you with assertiveness and boundary setting.

how does loneliness affect the brain??
Loneliness can affect your mind in a lot of ways. We humans are social animal and we always seek for a social support. Due to increased amount of loneliness we start secreting lesser amount of oxytocin. And oxytocin is a happy hormone. Then next, our cortisol secretion increases. And cortisol also increases our stress. And with continuous stress we may experience hypertension. It will also lead to poor immune system plus our cognitive performance also decareses. But COTO provides a platform to connect with like minded people and share our woes. If you are having difficulty in maintaining relationship with your friends, family, co-workers and others, then we may discuss this in my live session. My live will be at 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and, 12:00 in the midnight to 2:00 a.m. So whenever you see fit, you may definitely contact me

yes possible. you need to ask yourself what is it that you avoiding , or fearful about when it comes to going out with friends. it could be something that happened in the last when you had gone with them.

Hi, everyone, I’m Yogita Sapra, a psychologist! I’m thrilled to be here with all of you today.

That experience ignited my passion for psychology and inspired me to pursue a career where I could help others navigate their own mental health journeys. Through years of study and practice, I’ve learned how powerful our minds are in shaping our overall well-being, and I’m excited to share tools and strategies that can help you lead a more balanced, fulfilling life.more
