libra man is stressed. How do I help him get through this?

Some of you have read my posts before and know a little about my situation. Leo woman with a Libra man. We are slowly getting there and am happy with our progression. I am wondering now, how to help libra man handle stress. I want to be there for him and of course want to do it the right way.



hi
im new here but i think i might be able to give u some pointers from my own observation i have 5 libra friends 3 guys 2 girls all shared pretty similar in personalities but i find that my female libra friends tends to handle this situation a bit differently than my libra guy friends.

i think being supportive, and show him that u care but not too emotionally smothering and dont pressure/expect him to share what's on his mind or what's bothering him because he might get irritated (might be his way to avoid answering your questions) if they arent ready to share. when they trust you enough (which you will have to earn his trust) then he will have no problem sharing/reaching out to u about things that's bothering him.

3 of my guy friends tends to keep it to themselves, they will smile and act happy even though they are stressed out ......well unless it is to the point where it is too much for them then they'd let it show through their behavior like they'd talk less, avoid eye contact, moody for no reason i think its their defend mechanism of not letting anyone see that they are vulnerable. again this is just from my own observation, and funny thing is that i am that way too lol and i can almost 100% understand my libra guy friends. just be there for him and show him that u care action speaks louder than words to them. they only share when they trust =)

ps. i'm not a english native speaker, so excuse my english

Your English is nice! A lot better than some people that only know English.

Thank you for your reply. Libra man just opened up to me and told me what was on his mind which made me happy but now, as a leo I am concerned about my friend since I am very loyal and want to help. I have given him a lot of space, something that I completely understand. I just wasn't sure how much space to give and how much affection and concern, care to give him. I also don't want to smother him but at the same time be there for him. As you can see, I'm trying my best to balance similar to what Libra wants.

Another question-do Libra men like to be alone when under stress and or depression or do they like to go out and socialize to cover up feelings?

thats a good sign if he shares/open up but dont get carried away about it since he WILL always observing and see how u handle things. just be yourself, cheerful, supportive, space enough but not too spacey lol cuz that might make him think that u dont care and not too close well again it might makes him feel smothered. its all about balance yourself, be yourself and do your own thing and not worrying about him too much im sure he will appreciate that since he is unbalanced right now.

my libra guy friends 2 of them cant be alone when they are stressed, they'd go out with friends to freshen their mind. but the other 1 likes to be alone he loves playing guitar, nature camping, hiking etc it's like his great passion to walk in the wild so i think that's his way of getting away from stress. so it all depends on what their passion/hobby is and maybe thats what they would use to get lost in their mind and think. they are their own judge so let them balance their scales u just stand 2 steps behind and support him =)

and thank you for your kindness about my english =)

When it's a consuming kind of stress I like to sit down and figure it out rather than go out and cover it up. I also don't like when someone turns their focus on my situation even if it is out of a desire to help. My advice is to check in on him like LS said but not to keep the focus on the fact that he is stressed. Be your normal self tell him stuff about your day and joke around with him. He will likely bring it up and want to talk it through.

At the end of the day the most important thing is that your still there when he is done going through this kind of stuff and the comfort of it not changing the way you see him.

ah hah... i am a leo woman who was with a libra man for years. my libra needed space and comfort food the most when he was stressed out. i'm talking hours of being holed up in his office with the door shut to block out the world. i had to try and leave him alone as much as possible and let him come to me when he was ready. when i was involved it was all about caretaking. i would pamper him and keep him well fed. if u reside with him it is even better to leave the house/apartment completely and do ur own thing. tell him u made him some food to eat and ur gonna go run errands or hang out with friends or something. the time to himself, along with absolute peace and quiet, will help him immensely. also, if he does come to u for advice on how to handle his situation he's probably relying on u to be decisive because he's not. my libra ex was one of the most indecisive people i've ever met in my entire life. he would drive me crazy with it sometimes!

I was there for him and am giving him space. Enough space in fact that we haven't talked in 5 days. Its driving me crazy and I'm taking it as if he has lost interest in me. I've sent him text messages and the tone is that he's busy. I don't even text once a day. So for now I'm not contacting him. What else do I do? Just wait for him? We don't live together and I do want to take care of him during this time but he seems to just want his own time, although I do know that he's talked with other friends.

Mine has a weird habit. When he gets really stressed at work he just goes to the pub and gets drunk. Its annoying tbh. He will ring me up drunk and say stupid stuff that makes no sense. The worst bit is he forgets to tell me. So last night i went to pick him up at home as planned at 8.30, as his car at the garage and he had decided to go get wasted in town drinking and forget to tell me. As id been sat outside his house waiting for a hour before giving up and going home. I was really pissed off. But he couldnt see why i was pissed off.
