Get what you give! Always giving and never taking? This is the short road to compassion fatigue. Give to yourself and receive from others, otherwise you’ll get to a point where you have nothing left to give. And hey, if you can’t receive from others, how can you expect them to receive from you?

So when you give always reserve some for yourself don't give everything. I agree you will truly burn out and mostly based on my experience usually the ones asking always leave you out hanging with mouth wide open because you cannot fathom why even if you have given everything still, still they have bad opinions about you. Now, I've learned and I've realized that instead of just giving them fish, now I teach them how to fish.
That’s a nice move so they will always depend on your. Let them learn how to fish than always giving them a clean and ready fish just to eat one easily.
