This attunement is a great ability but often hurts your mental health if you don't give your feelings and needs the same attention.

Consequently, they feel responsible for others' emotions and believe it's their job to make others happy.

You want to be a good person and are scared by the resentment you're starting to feel towards others. You view this anger and this new need to be alone as meaning you're secretly cruel and selfish. But that's not the case. You're not selfish; this anger is a justified and healthy expression. This anger is trying to get your attention so you can choose actions that are better for you and your future well-being. Unfortunately, people-pleasing often leads to compassion fatigue, anxiety, burnout, and depression if left untreated. I hope you continue to pay attention and seek to stop people-pleasing.
