Socially? Maybe nothing.
But personally?
Caring but not doing is the path to deep depression and constant guilt.
There is absolutely nothing worse for me than the feeling of "I need/want to do this thing today" and then I just can't get myself to do it. I wind up losing hours of time being completely unable to do anything. Literally sitting in a chair and staring at a wall feeling frustrated with myself. Not replacing what I need to do with anything else either. Not even watching a show or playing a game or something. Just sitting. Or laying down. Unable to make myself do it.
It's miserable. Medication has fixed basically all of this for me.
