I feel really tired of people?

Question

i work in the health and therapy profession and i give to strangers all day. i find that i have a lot more more moments where i just want to be left alone. i avoid friends and want to stay home and read or do projects. i recently went camping for 4 days just with my dog and it felt great. but as soon i got home, i felt resentful of calls and having people wanting to see and talk to me. i feel dread at times and get angry when friends try to pester me to hang out with them. it feels like pressure and i get mad. if i just had a month to be all alone and complete some things without interruptions all would be well, but what if that's not enough? i need to try and figure out why i feel so tired around humans these days....

Answer 1

every one gets like that it is psychologically sound, every one need what is called there "me" time to be all by themselves to relax and take a break from life

Answer 2

I get that feeling sometimes too. The problem with people is that you can almost never feel 100 percent comfortable, you always have the sense that you have to measure-up. If I walked up to my dog after a long day wearing trashy clothes, smelling horrible my dog would still come running jumping up to me wagging her tail around in joy. But, would you ever walk up to a person like that? No. Would you ever say all the things you wanted to say, would you ever be the person you always wanted to be no matter the situation? Probably not. That is why being in the wilderness with you, your dog, is some of the purest moments you can get. No measuring up to people's expectations of what is right and wrong, moral and immoral. Just you and the pureness of nature.

Answer 3

because your mind is not resting and continuously goes around with the same cycle so you get bored and pressured. give time to your self. learn how to say NO on things and use that time for your rest.

Answer 4

wait till you have kids

Answer 5

i get like that a lot too. especially when people give you a hard time! ugh! you could try to find another job that doesn't have as much to do with people, like an online thing or something. there are jobs like that out there! good luck!

I can understand where you're coming from. Maybe you're going through a particularly stressful time right now? Personally, I'm naturally a bit of a loner; but whenever I'm going through something stressful, or have alot on my mind, I have the compulsive need to push everyone away and just be alone.  Sometimes solitude is what it takes to really figure things out.

Answer 7

well... i'm like that... been like that for like 2 years... just tired of humans... in fact i have a motto... "the human race is pitiful..."  i rarely hang out with anyone... and if i do it's of my own accord... like to go on coasters, watch movies i want to see... or even my favorite band in concert... i just hate other people running things... the world is a pitiful place... pitiful, yet beautiful...

I think you need a long vacation (maybe a month or two or more). Your profession demands a lot from you and as a result you seem to be completely burned out.
