What a drag
Anyone find it exhausting to try to develop new relationships with people after you've survived and gotten free from a relationship with an Alcoholic? It took so much energy out of me that trying to get to know other people within friendships and relationships now seems like a choore. My interacting skills are shot and I just don't have any interest in learning about other people because I was a caretaker for so long with my XABF and I had so much focus on him that I now feel tapped out. I gave up so much of myself that I'm just all about me now and getting to know other people doesn't hold my interest. I just feel drained and bored in regards to my social skills. I guess when you step off the rollercoaster, life seems slower. Definately more sane, but slower in a GOOD way. Thoughts/suggestions?
