So a little while ago on social media, we posted about the 5 types of people you need to check in on. And, in this blog post, we'd like to share who these people are with you as well.
The 5 Types Of People You Need To Check In On
- The person who has been acting âout of characterâ lately. Whether this is âsnappingâ at something small or behaving more ârecklesslyâ than usual, itâs important to check in and understand the cause behind this change in behaviour.
- The person who has gone quiet. Often people socially withdraw when theyâre overwhelmed, the symptoms of their mental illness are severe, or when theyâre emotionally exhausted. Of course, they may need space to recharge - but just showing that you're thinking of them and that you care can still be so heart-warming.
- The person who is always âthe helperâ for others. Because their needs matter too, and because they may have learned how to appear âokayâ while they care for others (even when theyâre struggling).
- The person who has had some âbig changesâ lately. Whether itâs moving cities, a change in their relationship status, or a big change at work, big changes can be very unsettling and taxing on a person's mental health as they adjust to their new reality.
- The person who displays low mood or is distressed. Because thereâs something unsettling their âinner worldâ, they may need your support through it.
Like we said, our friend, please do your best to check in on these people!
