Heart.
Brain.
I get squished for going out of my way to help - to make others' lives as pleasant as possible.
Instead of making my own life as pleasant as possible I focus on how to help others - and it seems as though I wind up feeling like I spend a lot of my emotional currency and am not refilling it. Now I realize this could be entirely in my head - thus, If I can find a way to replenish my own heart by filling others' then I shouldn't be having this problem.
So why is it, then, that doing these things for others is unfulfilling? Why am I not finding any satisfaction? Am I helping the wrong people - or perhaps I am helping them in the wrong ways...?
Is there a right and a wrong way to love someone? Is there a wrong way to help someone? And can you do both at the same time? Is it possible to help someone by loving them? If so - must it then truly be a selfless act of affection?
