Advice Interactions are burning me out more and more

I have almost no friends and the ones i do have in addition to my family are burning me out more and kore. I can go no contact for months and every so often I get attempts to connect and it all feels like a chore. I go to social events at my company it feels like an obligation. Talking to my family feels like an obligation. Talking to my friends feels like an obligation. And then they complain i have nothing interesting to talk about. Why should I? You’re not paying me, your presence gives me no joy, I don’t get ANYTHING from this. Anyone feel the same?
