You must learn to look out for yourself and assert it very strongly, because the more selfless you get, the more daring the opportunists become and encroach aggressively every territory you temporarily step off.
While you concede ground out of love, to them, it begins to look like a conquest and a battle with a fool whose only choice is to keep retreating.
Be bold enough to occupy your space even when you instinctively want to share. Many don't know the difference between love and being weak, so watch it before you build yourself a huge trap.
Be kind but love yourself first, else your heart will declare your space empty while your mind sleeps. And you know, nature abhors vacuum...
