Another issue with chronic fatigue is conversation topics.

I could ask what you've been up to, give my opinion on what's in the news or share what funny things I see on social media, but I don't really experience anything myself. It makes perfect sense that people get bored with me quickly, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept people only talking with me for one evening and then disappearing.

perhaps other people can no longer give you useful food for your rational mind.

try to develop towards the emotional vector. this vector is usually directed inward.

go out there on a hunt and catch one of the creatures that live there. bring it out into the light and show it to other people. if you feel like it...

others probably won't care, but it could be a fun emotional experience for you.

if you can't catch anyone inside you, make something up. if you're not devoid of creativity, that works, too.

by publishing any content that touches you emotionally and expressing your emotional relationship to that content.

some people have to devote the first half of their lives to building a set of rational defenses around themselves. the second half of their lives they have to destroy those defenses in order to free themselves from their own captivity.

@fakable my love language is sharing memes I can relate to. I guess that's a start?

That's something that I hate, too... it would be nice to be able to tell others about all the wonderful things I did in my day - only, all I achieved was my YouTube history and that's if I managed to get out of bed at all.

I've been flaring up for the last few days... last night I was catching up on sleep, the night before that I didn't sleep at all and the day before that I was struggling to get out of bed between 3 and 4pm.

Today, the landlord is coming - so he will get to see first hand how my job affects me.

@HootyTheNightOwl yes, it really sucks... Hopefully the talk with the landlord will go okay.

@NerdyPotato He's not talking today. He's bringing 2 men with a van to help get some stuff out.

I'm not looking forward to that because it means that I will be alone with at least two of them for a few minutes and I don't trust them enough for that yet.

I know that I will be safe because my man won't put up with anything less than professional behaviour from them - but these are old wounds for me.

@HootyTheNightOwl I hope it won't be too traumatizing then. ☹️

Its even harder when you get close to someone and they just abandon you.

NerdyPotato · M

@SW-User yes, that happened a lot to me too... It's what most conversations result in after a day or two.

@NerdyPotato I meant reality not just online chats. Most people online are shallow and not loyal unfortunately.

NerdyPotato · M

@SW-User in person the same happens indeed.

I just ignored everybody and daydream my life away. It's boring talking to people when I can predict the direction of conversation
