Feeling burnt out. would appreciate any support

I feel so exhausted and burnt out. I feel like everyone wants things from me and I cant possibly give it to them and they get upset and I feel bad. I literally have zero energy. I went on a first date and i wasnt interested but i pretended to be interested and kept talking for hours to be polite but once after talking for hours i slipped up and looked at my finished cup to signal i want to go and when the guy saw i was disinterested he started crying. I felt so bad and i came home so angry at myself. Later, when speaking to my aunt she said it wasnt my fault and i felt better. Also i tutor and i have a student who gets upset that i like her sister more. I dont do anything in particular to show i like her more but she can just tell i like her more which is true bec our personalities match better. Anyways she gets all upset when i tutor her and she wants me to like her the same so she shows me videos. Usually i watch the videos but last time i didnt because i had a headache and i told her i cant because i have a headache and she just said sarcastically yea i get it its hard to watch something when you have a headache and looked all upset.

Then i have another girl who is in my friend group that acts the same way and and is passive aggressive with me unless i show her i like her too.

My grandmother also complains why i dont see her often but i totally would its just i have a constant headaches and i feel exhausted all the time so i dont have energy to visit her because she drains my energy even more.

My dad isnt good and comforting me and tries to give me advice and tells me not not to be stressed and i dont have energy to listen to his advice and he feels bad why i dont talk to him.

Then this lady my dad is dating also wants me to hang out with her but i just dont like her and she takes everything personally and i dont have energy to be around her either.

Also i had a therapist who was the same way and wanted my validation and got upset when i didnt give it to him.

I dont have so many ppl to talk to except 1 therapist and my aunt who i feel bad calling all the time bec i dont want her to get stressed from me.

I legit feel exhausted from everyone. I have constant headaches everyday and my heart beats fast and i feel like im dying. I wish everyone would leave me alone. How do i deal with everyone? Does anyone else deal with the same thing? Why does everyone want me to like them?

Everyone must want you to like them because you're awesome lol idk

But as far as all that goes, best thing you can do is do you. If you don't want to be around people you don't have to and if they make you think or feel like you do, then really that's their problem and need to work on themselves.

I can see this from both sides, awhile back I was kinda like the girl in your friend group, needed to be told or atleast felt better to be told by certain friend or friends that they even liked me lol i wasn't passive agressive tho but was more to do with my own mental health issues than anything they did kind of thing. As far a a therapist needing validation that's honestly weird imo, and new I've never heard of that before .

But what's im trying to say I guess is that none of it should be your problem, you can't pretend to like people or pretend to want to be around people or like one the same as the other cause everybody is different. A guy cries cause you aren't interested, he gotta move on. People click with people or they don't . And you don't need to or should feel bad about any of it. If you're a nice person and you probably are lol then that's all you need to do. See people when you want to and talk to people when you want to. Cause if it's all forced then it's just bad .

Hi R23456.

Then take a break before ur body gives up totally. Yes it's hard but if U don't take a break , what will U do if U end up in hospital due to exhaustion??

As a father to 2 daughters myself I see exactly where ur dad is coming from & he knows ur near exhaustion but he respects that U need to live ur life how U wish or he would've forced U to take a break a long time ago.

So how are U going to take responsibility for U & ur exhaustion ? Its winter time , so cold & flu season & a reason to take a break just to rest ur body & as for ur mind , I suggest U learn new coping techniques that will help U to protect U & tailor them to ur needs not other people as U need the rest , U need time & U in control . Ur dad will back U & give U that room & will probably want to make sure ur eating too but that's us parents for U .

Time U put Rose23456 1st & ur needs , its not selfish , its to help U recover. Also I think if U told granny everything she will understand too.

Also U can always post in here for support & others will help U.
