Don't be over attentive to someone it can make his life miserable. If you really care about someone don't create unnecessary scenes in his life. It will lead him to overwork which in turn will drain out his energy which he has kept for productive work. It is in fact an obsession.
Stop Self-Destructive Behavior: Binging, Abuse or Over-indulging |
Stress manifests itself in many ways, including self-destructive behavior that we know is not good for us, but we can't stop doing it.
People under stress usually don't take care of themselves, but rather partake in self-destruction. These bad behaviors range from binging on junk food, not taking care of ourselves or turning to alcohol or drugs.
It is not always easy to admit our own problems and failures. But the first step in stopping is admitting we have a problem. In the same way that we learn self-destructive behavior, we have to learn how to stop those behaviors.
The irony of self-destructive behavior is that we do it to relieve stress and make us feel better. But these behaviors usually make you feel worse. Being in a caregiving role is enough to make people turn to self-destruction.
