Advice: How To Get Emotionally Detached From My CLIENTS by ModestGal(f): 8:45pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
Hey Nl, I have clients from many places around the world, but I have a problem, I get emotional with them. Many atimes, I would leave this clients myself because of the fact that I want them to be happy so much that I fear I may fail them in a little way. It's called anxiety In my business deals, I care about the objectives/goals of my clients, and with them, I always have a form for them to fill. I'm a very nice person, and very empathetic so most of my potential clients develop a high trust and love for me. And thus, when they put mouth into the story of their lives, I won't be able to stop them, and they go very deep. I usually end up turning to a counsellor or a friend because naturally, I'm endowed with deep understanding of things,and how to solve some problems. Back to business now, I would not wish to charge them too much, or make them feel uncomfortable in anyway (this is me naturally, I will not charge my friend in real life for a job that doesn't require me to extra spend, and I love me like that). Sometimes, I fear if they are not happy with some things, it might add more to their depression, all these fear would make me run away or even tell them I'm busy or do it for free for them depending on the type of service they need. It seems an average person from Europe and America has some problems they are battling, and I cannot turn myself off from their battle when I know the solution, that's not possible. It seems I have no way out of this. I know myself always seeing opportunities for people near me and would wants to solve their problems or help them grow, this is why I do not have close friends, because I fear the mental work would be too much. This night, I checked my mail and saw a potential client who has written me what I asked her to do, we started talking, and I notice it's heading to that direction of me turning to a counsellor, yes, I love counselling people, and making people feel at ease but it leads me to be too sympathetic that I end up charging less What is your suggestion? ............ If you are a Nigerian, and your only problem is poverty, you need to thank God. Some people are wealthy but full of different problems that disturbs their mental health so much. Be thankful |

Clients are not hard to find ...good clients are not impossible to find ...but a good friend....now that is something... If you value business more, then you will know that business and friendship don't mix so be nice and empathic but ruthless when its time for making money ... If you value friendship more, then you will know that good friendship involves willingness to sacrifice even at the expense to self..knowing FULLY well that the other person will do the same for you in a heart beat ... So if you know the value of your friendship with these clients of yours, you would easily be able to gauge how much involvement you would like to have in their personal issues and how much you will like to avoid personal issues for yourself and chase that paper... 2 cents 1 Like |

You cannot long separate the emotions from transactional sex. Since you left that part to us, I have to assume your product is sexual content or something of the nature. |
