A reluctance to give donations to charities raising funds for natural disasters such as the aftermath of the Tsunami, the S Asian Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters. These events appear to occur with increasing frequency and so the public become weary of constantly being called upon to donate funds to help the needy.
This is also accompanied by a feeling that funds given in the past have been mismanaged through poor administration and other factors: therefore there is little point in making a donation as it will never reach those who need it most.

Roger was suffering from compassion fatigue when he watched another appeal to help the victims of the S Asian Earthquake. This time, he decided, charity begins at home. He went out for a few drinks down the pub.

Get the compassion fatiguemug. groggy tired agitated state one is in when they have had more than enough Tim Tebow stories/hype on the TV, radio, and internet. ESPN is a large cause and side effect of this medical condition. Sadly, the only cure is Pacman Jones, hookers, and blow. See also: Skip Bayless
side effects include - not showing up until the last minute, allergies to alcohol and female body parts, prayer

Biff: Man, I love the Broncos, they are getting some LOOOOVE on ESPN.

Get the Tebow Fatiguemug. Despite the justifiable, life-saving measures provided by social distancing and shelter-in-place directives there has been a significant cost exacted with compliance; lives have been disrupted, businesses crippled and the log-term psychological impact is vast, if not unmeasurable.
Yo! I've done watched every Netflix Series, rerun and crappy B-movie that exists on Amazon Prime, HBO and Cinemax.
Me too. I'm even tired of playing 'escaped convict and the wardens wife' with the Mrs.
DUDE! You REALLY got the Quarantine Fatigue!

Get the Quarantine Fatiguemug. Scottie: Hey Mike, they robbed you of the MVP this year.
MJ: It's voter fatigue Scottie. They just don't feel like giving me the trophy this year. I'll get that Finals MVP though.

Get the voter fatiguemug. The physical and psychological weariness that comes from multiple emergency evacuations, such as from six hurricanes hitting the gulf coast in a single season.
“You need to get yourselves up here now!”
“Thank you, but we’re not even in the hurricane’s path anymore, and we have too much evacuation fatigue to spend sixteen hours behind the wheel.”
