Socializing is becoming very easy. People are drawn to me and engage me. I do the same. All in all positive vibes.
On the other hand my assertiveness is declining. I am too accepting and smily. No drive to do something for myself. But I do stuff for everyone else. While this seems to be a good thing, I don't like it. I don't like expending my precious energy for others, because nobody returns the favor. They all absorb my gifts, my time, my expertise. Once I am empty I have to find ways to recharge myself. I don't like that energy mostly flows into one direction, away from me.
Now's the time learn how to balance. Chances are you'll have to do some testing with your kindness. The people who don't return it should start to be eased out of your life, or you should find creative ways to set up win-win situations. That'll make it pretty fun to separate the leeches from the true friends.
