I will listen, but does it have something to do with being tired of giving too much empathy? Where you are worn out and maybe angry at how U get taken advantage of?

I reached that point many years ago and it affected my career. As a nurse I have to be empathetic to everyone I encounter but when dealing with an emotional vampire, like the one I'm married to, I ran out of empathy for anyone. He is the reason I cannot to this day deal with people in a clinical setting who suffer with mental illness. I just can't do crazy.

@er
So your ability to have empathy decreased? I haven't really thought about it deeply, but I think to some degree I have lost that capacity with some, but not with others.
I let too many people walk over me, but then I kick myself. Some, like my sister who is a slob (slob=lazy+expecting others to bail them out), I just have no more empathy for.
I have been seeing so many PD's lately or at least that behavior is magnified.

@cg, Sort of. It's not I cannot feel it. I have nothing left. . I can see the change from 5 years ago in my posts to present. I am flat now. It's strange to see that.
@er Yep, I can imagine. Mom is a nurse and she is quite done as well. Mental health patients, she can't won't deal with too much when she can avoid it.

CG, yes, my empathy decreased significantly. It was not that I didn't care it was simply that I had no patience for people anymore.
Mea, I can relate to your mom very well, it takes a very heavy toll on your own sanity.

With your background ER, that you have empathy for anyone else is amazing in itself. Most would crack completely under that.

Yes today I have lost my empathy from what happened. And in this instance it's everyone else's fault. I'm tired of it and the price is the cost to them. They have dug there own hole by their actions. I don't care if they think I'm an a-hole because it's their fault. A few people are on my list.
Today I had a phone call from a past client who I've known for a long time, as she was catching up, she felt the need to include the fact that she was having money troubles with placing product orders. This while her GPS was giving me turn by turn directions on her destination.......while screaming kids in the background. I quickly ended the call as soon as I got the info.
Why do people feel the need to call while they're doing something else? Can't they just wait until the other stuff is taken care of? What makes them think I'd really like to hear the GPS navigation? It's just so PD like. The whole sob story really isn't my problem.
This is what makes people so irritated and not want to deal with people.
