    What do you call this?

    I have this person I talk to. I won't call them a friend, but we have a mutual friend and that's how we got talking.

    Anyway, idk what happened to me a few weeks ago, but I completely lost the energy to keep conversations online going. Interactions seemed like a bother and I felt really tired and exhausted.

    My point is, this person in particular just saps my energy. Talking with them is so exhausting, to the point that I feel so drained afterwards. I limited the amount of time we text online and even with their irritating 'let's vibe." demands, I just don't know what to do anymore.

    What do you call this feeling? Is there something wrong with me QAQ??

    Edit: I also noticed that they complain a lot about friends leaving them, which makes me guilty because I'm considering doing the same. But they don't seem to consider that they might be the issue. They have anger issues and tend to act like talking to them is a privilege. They also push me way out of my comfort zone, which, now that I think about it, might be a major reason why I don't feel inclined to talk to them.

    Without being personally acquainted with either of you or knowing the actual contents of your conversations, I can only tentatively suggest that you two are a "bad match" for each other. It's not something to worry over; you cannot always be on the same wavelength with everyone, especially when it comes to length, duration, contents, participation in and inclination to converse.

    No, that’s perfectly natural. There are people like that. The only advice I have for that. Is if you want a deeper relationship than keep moving forward, but if it’s a mild fling or as nice friends. I would start cutting back. If they ask why your pulling back. Just say you like talking to them, but you have other interest too.
    At least that’s what I would do.
    Good luck

    I do understand what you mean. What's worse is I noticed some bad traits the have that just isn't what I like in a person, friend or otherwise.

    Cutting back huh. That does sound like a good idea

    Had that experience, indeed it became repetitive to talk online with him so I cut the plastic friendship off through my actions and I think he understood. Of course, I do recommend to communicate with him in regard of this topic, good luck!

    They will probably go off. Complain to our mutual friend and everyone they know. I prefer a silent snip. Cut off, silently and precisely. Also because I'm a coward:blobpensive::blobtired:

    Oh, I guess they're called emotional vampire, zapping you out emotionally like they're sucking the blood out of you
    But I agree with this
    Just like perhaps you have someone you can talk with for hours without the both of you feeling tired, there must be someone else exactly the opposite.
    But that second person might also have a friend that they clicked with just like you clicked with the first person
    When it gets too tiring, just take care of yourself and retreat, it's fine

    Oh so they’re one of those, “energy vampires”. Some may get off to you sticking around even after being toxic to you. I think you should lessen your interaction with them

    I mean, if being with someone makes you uncomfortable and drains you, and you're part of a 3 people group of "friends"... It might be better to PM your actual friend and tell them about your circumstances.

    You can always just hang out with the person you care about without bringing the 3rd party together. It's probably the easiest way to go about it.
