i get attached to the smallest kindness, that’s my whole problem

I’m actually kinda fun once you get to know me (takes 3 to 4 years).

For the sake of your mental health, let yourself be unreachable sometimes.

Yes! Ignore the work calls/texts/emails that arrive on your day off, or after you've clocked out for the day. Say no to manufactured urgency. And remember, lack of planning on the part of anyone at work, even (especially!) your boss, is not an emergency on your part. Take a day every now and then where you don't use social media. Turn off your phone at dinner, or at least don't bring it to the table. Go on a vacation every now and then someplace where cell phone signal is spotty at best. Let the family drama go to voicemail. It doesn't mean you don't love or care about your family. Manufactured urgency has no place in the workplace, and even less place in the family.
