Kindly book appointment with a Psychologist to overcome these issues.
You should consider taking sessions from an experienced psychologist. But for short term remedy you can practice some mindfullness exercises. https://positivepsychology.com/mindfulness-exercises-techniques-activities/
These exercises will definitely help your symptoms but you should definitely book an appointment in order to reach the root cause of the problem.
W/asalamHabits are difficult to break. And spending time with someone plus having friendship for long time you get used to that person. But when that friendship become toxic you have to break free from that, otherwise it will hinder your growth and stop you from achieving your goals. First step is to decide you still want the same relationship or not than be firm on your decision no matter what others say you.
hello,
hope you are coping better. as a specified person is mentioned and details are limited, writing diary would help you to channelize the thoughts that might be causing the drain of energy as reported, writing your thoughts down will help them to reduce the intensity of emotions that they bring. Deep breathing and some art activities would also help you to relax the emotional drain...for a detailed resolution, you may see a therapist in person for sure.
Wsalam Hope you are doing fine .... For starters first learn to identify or name the emotion... every time an emotion starts there comes an action or our system inhibits the that action and as a result some medium response generates... now may be your emotional system is tired of the same medium response set by your body or brain .... most of the time it happens because we do not respond to what we don’t like so those emotions pile up inside a person that’s where your system reaches a peak and you feel drained as your emotional system has no more capacity to handle the old response .... Try to learn to respond to situation in a different way.... I have dealt with a client who has exactly the same issue .... This toxicity and negative energy of people around you can also make you negative and toxic as a result .... Practice meditation and deep breathing and practice to speak up when you disagree to that toxic person .... I know his is in your friend circle but there are smooth calm ways where you take a stand for yourself and say you disagree or dislike a certain thing idea etc .... For sensation in abdominal area please consult a physician and rule out any underlying medical condition....and if there is no underlying medical reason then it means your stress is taking a toll on your body .... and about the sleep thing obviously unconsciously it’s effecting you , your body is reacting out .... so I would suggest the above mentioned things to try and also you can write here the most disturbing thing or situation with that toxic person and I may guide you accordingly

Actually i don't know what's the main reason, he is good in studies, good looking, intelligent person. on the other side i am average in studies but he is kind of person that gather all the friends and specifically target someone individual and always trying to be the center of attraction in the group he never want that someone should admire the other and if that happen he is instantly rush through and trying to down the other person. I always have great conversation with other friends we are teasing each other but when he trying to tease/cracking joke with someone it's look like he is consciously trying to pull down others. The reason why i can't say anything because i am an introvert and if i have the gut to go against him the other friends will be on his side because they have great alliance between them

Do not go against him go along with him but in a way that let your presence felt by him and others too... and when you feel like he is consciously pulling down someone either change the topic or consciously divert the groups attention to some thing else .... I know it’s not possible every time but it’s a solution when his actions are becoming highly bothersome.... secondly always try to put yourself in others shoes... now he may be a person perfect in studies and stuff etc but he may have a broken family or some strict family rules to follow or strict family figure... there must be something in his up bringing etc and it’s also kind of possible that he is not allowed to share his views and ideas in family so he tries to cover it up by becoming extrovert in studies and friends and making himself listen by others.... try to understand him that why is he doing all this !!!! He may be a rejected child at home .... these are all hypothesis to make you understand..... there are so many other things I can explain to tackle the situation but it’s too difficult to write that much and sometimes it’s difficult to make a point like this or to counsel someone...... I hope you understand the crux

you are overthinking if he is toxic and you have issue with him try to discuss with him and its not possible jo k hona ni chaiye but you can involve your other friends. and take it easy dont stress over others behavior if they are not good with you dont give them space even in your mind. enjoy your good friends. get a proper session with psychologist and discuss in detail
