I'm tired, boss

Sometimes ,when I try to talk to other people it ends up them talking all about themselves and what's going on in their lives and not really listening to what I'm saying or responding with empathy .
Sometimes there's advice and sometimes it's okay advice ,but it usually ends up with me trying to comfort them instead of the other way around or we just end up comparing stories.
There's something called compassion fatigue I'm not really sure what that is but if it's always pushing yourself down and your own grief and problems to help somebody else and and now you have a little energy and not much to give then I guess , I have compassion fatigue.

I totally understand this. It’s alright to be selfish sometimes. It’s alright to want to be heard if not understood. I don’t have a solution for you other than to try to avoid the emotional vampires. Thanks for reaching out with this. It needed to be said
