during autistic burnout, do you notice empathy fatigue? you still care about people’s feelings but your ability to console, offer encouragement, etc has sort if dwindled? i feel that i am always trying to build people up and make them feel better and sometimes i just can’t.

me today: i really want to eat alone and not talk/mask/etc.

also me: forcing myself to socialize even though i am not super comfortable. but sometimes connection is important.

do you relate to this, or are you ok/content with being more reserved?

hello everyone. i don’t post here much. thought i’d say hello. how are you doing? do you go in twitter much?
