Yeah, they probably cannot relate as well.
I've had a bad week as well, I am scrambling trying to look for employment as my unemployment ended.
Everyday I do get the feeling that I am trying, but that my actions are neither received well or appreciated whether my effort is in vain or not, it feels good to feel your appreciated or feel your understood.
I get a feeling of total burnout, dealing with things others perceive as small and the fallout is immense.
