What do you do about someone that talks to you nonstop? [I Ramble]

From good things, to bad things... Knowing some things upset you and they proceed to judge when you say, "Please don't tell me that."

Or is it normal to talk to somebody all the time, about anything and everything? 🤔

I think I'd just say to talk about _____ with someone else.

@HannahSky I've done that a couple times. They've replied with, "I don't have anyone else."
When I've offered to pay for a therapist for them (not in an obnoxious way, I meant it genuine) they say, "No, that's okay."

@JupiterDreams they need more help than you can give.. sounds like the topic is off limits for you.

@HannahSky I want to help people. But I've been overwhelmed lately and feel burnt out... I have my own problems and it's hard when someone else is using me like their personal therapist 😥 Then I feel like I have someone else's problems packed in with mine, then I worry for them... And it's just a cycle that I struggle to work through.

My own therapist has told me I need to distance myself from them but it's hard because I'm stuck between being "selfish" and being compassionate

@JupiterDreams the truth though is you're not helping them, through no fault of your own, they need more and you need to look out for yourself and what you're going through.
