How to use "Overbearing" in context?
People can be too overpowering. The thing with overpowering people is that they eventually stop being a support system and become a weight on your shoulders. Their negative energy can permeate your own, which can lead to dissatisfaction and stress in your life. It can be difficult enough to manage your own life without someone else coming into the picture and tossing a wrench into the works. If someone is too overpowering in your life, it might be time to end the relationship.
