Sometimes family stress is like a heavy weight on your chest. The longer you lay there and wait for it to go away, the more it presses down on you and makes it more difficult to breathe. So, getting out of that position and venting to friends (moderately as not to exhaust them with too much complaining), and being grateful for how other relations are working out well, take our minds of family stress and offer us the space we need to breathe and replenish our energy for woring on our relations and social interactions.. Good luck

If you're worried about the stress jumping in mid-conversation, let your acquaintance know that it's been rough lately so it won't cause miscommunication; how specific you can be depends on your relationship and the situation. If the stress is making you withdrawn, at least keep in touch with people closest to you or energize you, and consider alternatives that work for you such as video calls in the comfort of your room or at the park.
