Gabor is the goat.

Compassion fatigue is real. As a new parent, it’s very fuckin’ real, and I have a good baby!

It takes mental energy to be compassionate. You have to consider the bit picture, consider all angles. When you’re tired, stressed, running late etc, it’s way Fuckin’ easier to just get the shits over something, be grumpy got a bit and then move on.

I think when we’re tired we’re emotionally lazy and that makes us feel abt to process things and the quickest, most convenient way we can.

I hope everyone is feeling better now.

It definitely is easy it get shitty. Emotional maturity is being able to recognise and own up to when you're behaviour is out of line. We're all human though right!

Haha, yeah I picked up what you put down. My grammar and spelling is woeful when I am tired.

I agree with you re emotional maturity. Takes bravery to admit mistakes or that you were wrong, but like anything, it gets easier with practice.

I agree with Sam, it’s takes time and mental energy to be compassionate, and most people are in such a rush they don’t have time to think about others.

Keep up the recovery!
