I feel as if I have been drained of empathy. The last person I dated was co-dependent on me and struggled to handle her emotions. I dated her for two years. I used to put so much effort into offering solutions, but towards the end I became so burnt out and exhausted from her behaviour and constant nit-picking at everything me or my friends did. She always had something to be upset or insecure about. I tried my best to help her because I loved her and now when people come to me with problems or I feel I should be saying something sweet I feel like I'm out of things to say because of her. It makes me feel horrible and like I'm a shell of who I used to be because I do care about my friends so deeply and I want to offer them advice and comfort when they need it. I'm just so tired.
