Do y’all feel exhausted after human interaction?

Not even social interaction just interacting with humans day to day for work and life. I’m so exhausted. Even after spending ~1.5 hours with one patient (in research setting) and having to do active listening, provide “empathy”, etc I feel fucking done.

I know we should be seeking genuine connection and maybe that will feel different but the day to day interaction fucking exhausts me. I have no energy to seek connection I want to stew in my apartment alone and eat messy bbq with my hands. But sometimes I think company would be nice but I just don’t know where I’m supposed to get the energy for that when life is already fucking draining me???!
