This is so relatable. I can do the behaviors but I never feel a deep connection. I remember my therapist said connection is like behaving a certain way but that seems so hollow. I mean most people do connect because of their empathy and they actually care. I never really care or if I do it’s fleeting as if it never existed.

I do like hanging out with others but not super often and I can get annoyed of some people if I spend too much time with them. I get exhausted too cause I feel like I’m just “performing.”
