Feeling Down

Hi. So, when I’m low in mood and/or energy, I tend to struggle with empathy. A lot. To the point I feel like my actions and words towards others are bitter or not expressed well enough even though I don’t mean them to be. It’s like I lack basic human decency. I become so emotionally exhausted that I come across as uninterested, annoyed or unpleasant.


How do I come across as more human and socially aware? How do I not hurt others with my words when I must partake in those important conversations, and expressing my views with the lack for correct words (when my brain is juggling so much to understand and recognise what’s happening) change the tone of the meetings? How do I *really* divert from self loathing due to these factors?


Thank you.

It's hard being misunderstood by others.maybe reading some books on communication skills,etc might help

@LittleHopeInDark,Try to tell your friends that some words you say in your bad mood that are not true or just tell them that you can't control.They will understand you and not get hurt by your words.
