Dear Amy: My compassion for others has descended to a new low.
It changed me.I thought the isolation wouldn’t bother me because I am an introverted woman. I treasure my solitude.I went only to the store and the library just to see another human being and chat for a minute or two. That seemed to suffice – after all, for two years that person walking toward me might be carrying a disease that could kill me.
Well, now I have landed, and I find that I am less tolerant than I used to be, and a lot more cynical.I have dropped a couple of long-term friendships because I couldn’t bear the other person’s neediness. It was as if I was for years wearing rose-colored glasses, but they fell off and now I see the world differently.
Some of the reactions and feelings you report having now would otherwise be seen as familiar signs of depression – or at least passing through a depressive phase. My own prescription for you would be to spend as much time as possible outdoors, and to double up on your art and music – both of which are extremely healing for your soul and exceptionally good for your cognitive and mental health.Dear Amy: About four days a week, I hang at a wonderful local coffee spot. I bring my laptop and have my regular spot.I’d like to express my interest in her, but I have two issues: I’m a woman , and I don’t know anything about her own dating status.
