I have empathy fatigue again

The quote at the beginning of Godard's Vivre sa vie to me applies to this, it goes something like "lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself" a Montaigne quote.

I feel you...

Whenever I feel that way (which is most of the time), I isolate myself from everyone. I guess this is one of the reasons why I can't really maintain friendships.

Ditto!
Social media does that to me now. Have to limit my time.

Maybe you didn't want to know other people in the first place. And that is why they are draining.
