[quote=Anonymous]First, it is okay to feel this way.  Everyone has their own personal struggles and we don't all have the ability to invest a lot even to just support everyone in their struggles.  There are people who champion environmental rights, those who are affected by a particular disease/disorder and fight for medical funding to cure the disease/disorder, as PP pointed out, those who are struggling with being parents of young children, and so on.  And each of us has a limited amount of time/energy/sympathy to support as many issues as we have the capacity to do so.

My personal perspective is that you need to open and supportive when you are with the person about their personal situation and causes.  If you have reached your limit, the best way is to decrease your interactions with the person.  Everyone should be supported by the people in their circle and if we have to fade in and out of each other's circles while we each handle our respective lives and situations, that is how I personally try to handle.  I do what I can, be as supportive as I can to everyone.  If I feel that I can no longer be as supportive of the person as I think courtesy and respect demand, then I limit my time with the person until I have more capacity to be supportive. I really try to be supportive of everyone around me with their personal struggles and lives, but I have a limit to what I can do.  So essentially I try to pace myself within my emotional limits and do what I can.[/quote]
