Beware of people who are fond of dumping their emotional baggage on you.
While conversing with them, if you raise an issue bothering you, they will revert the conversation back to them. They don't console you, no encouragement, it's always about them.
They don't care about your well-being, they don't ask about your day, they don't ask about the project you're handling, it's always about them.
They expect emotional security from you, they bank on you to help them sail through life challenges but they don't reciprocate.
It's essential to understand that there is a difference between Venting and emotional dumping.
Venting is about expressing how you feel while being aware of the emotional state of the listener. You contribute to the emotional need of the listener too.
An emotional dumper doesn't care about the emotional needs or state of the listener, it's just about them.
