4. Set boundaries.
People who drain your energy often don’t understand your boundaries. They might talk to you about uncomfortable subjects, turn up unannounced at your house, or call you with their problems when you’re at work
When you’re close to someone and have a desire to invest your energy in them, it’s important to talk about any boundaries you may have. It can be difficult but try not to be mad or aggressive when you speak. Make sure they understand that you mean what you say.
