I have said for years that loyalty is both my best and worst quality. I would do anything for most anyone, but that can come with a giant downside if the person is toxic. Thankfully boundaries are now a part of my life and a piece of that includes assessment of the quality of my time with others and our relationship value. People matter. That will never change for me, but I also matter and won't sacrifice that perspective for someone else's benefit.
Pouring into others is good. Letting others suck you dry so you have nothing left is not. As with many aspects of life it is all about balance and communication. I am a giver by nature and derive pleasure from the happiness of people around me. I used to say I was a golden retriever always running back wagging my tail...now maybe I'm more of a wary retriever.
