ordinarily i recharge a lot. i love spending time alone every day, for hours in the evening. if i haven't got enough time alone i can stay awake long past when i'm physically exhausted, just winding down. if i don't do it i can't sleep anyway, i lie awake listening to my million thoughts buzzing away.
if i have a major ongoing stress going in my life and one thing tips the scales, like having to spend a few hours doing something for someone, the entire rest of the day is a wipe out and ends up being spent on recharging. if i'm under enough stress sometimes i do nothing for days but try to get my charge back. (it's probably kind of avoidant.) are other people like this?
yes, the same applies to me. The extent would depend on the level of stress or what is going on in my life at that time.if i have a major ongoing stress going in my life and one thing tips the scales, like having to spend a few hours doing something for someone, the entire rest of the day is a wipe out and ends up being spent on recharging. if i'm under enough stress sometimes i do nothing for days but try to get my charge back.

Most definitely!It's wise to have friends that are not energy vampires. They fill you not drain you...
Agreed. Agreed. So much agreed! >_<I don't have any friends or acquaintances that I have to get away from. And the few friends I have I actually want to go do things with. And they do not suck up my energy. It's wise to have friends that are not energy vampires. They fill you not drain you...
