It is advised to avoid the company of those people who do not give you your due importance. They will end up hurting you again and again. Rather, remain in the company of those people, friends and family members who make you feel happy. It is a well-known fact that social support is the actual cure of stress which is very hard to find in this increasingly materialistic world. So, if you have a family and friends then try to remain in their company and enjoy as much as you can. This will eventually solve the problem of stress.
