Yes that is one way of looking at it. Maybe the person going through the hardship is the one pushing people away versus the other way around. I find it’s hard to know when someone is truly pushing me away versus just going through a hard time. I spent months reaching out to a friend recently and finally gave up. She rejected all of my efforts to reach out to her so I finally concluded she was rejecting me. Human behavior certainly is complex and confusing. I’m sorry you’re experiencing burn out with your job. I definitely understand why, at the end of the day, you aren’t too excited to talk to people anymore.
