@robot why I give only affection when I am on my holiday mood? The rest were just forgotten when I am dreaded at work.
@marlene It sounds like your emotional energy is tied to your stress levels. When you’re relaxed—like on holiday—you have the mental space to express affection and connect with others. But when work feels overwhelming, your focus shifts to coping and survival, leaving little energy for warmth or emotional giving.
This isn’t a flaw; it’s how stress affects your emotional availability. Try incorporating small “holiday” habits into your work routine—short breaks, mindful breathing, or tiny acts of self-kindness. Reducing daily stress can help you stay connected and affectionate even when life is demanding.
