It sounds like you are interested in managing your empathy levels. Based on the context you provided, it seems that one's ability to be empathetic can evolve over time. It's possible to develop and refine your empathy without necessarily becoming less empathetic. Additionally, it's important to be mindful of boundaries and respect others' autonomy, especially when trying to help them. One way to manage empathy is to practice self-awareness and self-care. This involves setting boundaries, learning to recognize and address your own needs, and avoiding giving from a place of emptiness or sacrifice. It's also important to engage in activities that help you recharge and maintain a healthy balance between empathy and self-care. This could involve practicing mindfulness, seeking support from others, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. Ultimately, managing empathy may involve finding the right balance between being compassionate and understanding, and taking care of your own well-being. It's an ongoing process of self-reflection, growth, and learning.
