How to Stop Absorbing Other People's Emotions

You don't have to fix everyone's emotions. You're not their punching bag. And you shouldn't feel anxious every time somebody gets upset. I'm making this video because something's been on my mind. A lot of you are dealing with people who dump their emotions on you and you don't know what to do with them. But that ends today. I spent years teaching people how to stay calm in the face of anger, upset, and intense emotions. Not just manage it, but master it in under 90 seconds. So if you want that skill, stick around. Because here's what changes everything. The first thing to realize is that when people are upset and emotional, you're not responsible for absorbing their emotional baggage. Their anger, their frustration, their volatility— it belongs to them. It's happening inside their brain, not yours, and it's not because of you. When somebody emotionally invalidates you, like they attack you or dismiss you or minimize what you're feeling, they're rejecting your reality.
