I have felt that there are some people I have encounter in life that are black holes, no matter how much you give to them it is never enough. Even more, they are always wanting to have more and more, be it attention, be it other people time, be it to be right.

Long time ago I read in this subreddit "I'm a value giver not a value taker", but I find it kind of difficult to follow up with that, how do you give and give and give without taking. Yeah, the abundance mentality is great but at the same time I don't believe that one can only give, I think that you can give if and only if it's strategically logical.

I don't want to just give because I can, for sometimes by doing so I feel drained. I only have so much willpower and energy, only have so much free time, and I don't think that I can or must waste it in people that is not worth it.

Anyway sometimes it happens, and I find myself really drained for some time, maybe it's for my condition, (bipolar guy here), but it is really hard for me to get back when I feel so drained, it's like having someone suck all your energy and willpower.

Any advice will be great, thanks in advance for everything
