Does anyone else feel this way too?

Advice

I’ve always been told I’m an “old soul.” I feel things deeply. I care a lot maybe too much. I overthink everything, struggle to say no, and often put others’ needs before my own, even when I’m hurting.

Lately, I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed. I want connection, I want to be understood, but it’s hard when it feels like most people don’t relate to the way I experience the world. I’m exhausted from caring so much and still feeling alone.

Does anyone else out there feel like this? How do you cope with being so emotionally wired in a world that feels so surface level sometimes? I’m really struggling right now and could use some support or advice. Just knowing I’m not alone would help a lot.
