Asking for a friend 👩🏼🤝🧑🏻I If you're struggling to feel empathetic towards others, you might be experiencing empathy fatigue.
If you’re somebody who feels intensely empathetic towards other people and their problems, it can be strange when that empathy begins to shrink.
While most of the research on empathy fatigue is based on healthcare and social professionals or personal carers, Dr Meg, a chartered psychologist, tells Metro.co.uk, more and more of the general population have reported empathy fatigue since the pandemic. ‘Being consumed by our own challenges can often mean there isn’t the emotional space to hold others’ emotions in mind,’ she tells us.‘Alternatively, when people use disconnection or numbing to cope with their own situations, often unconsciously, they find that they are numb to everything – that all emotions are dialled down or switched off – and this can result in a lack of empathy.’
