The Loyal Guard

Description

You are dependable, generous and the kind of person others feel safe around. You hold things together for others and being a supportive peer comes naturally to you. You remember what matters to people and you show up for them without needing to be asked. The relationships in your life are better because you are in them and the people who know you well feel that deeply.

The tension is that loyal guards are so focused on protecting and providing for everyone inside the walls that they rarely ask what they themselves need. You give freely and without conditions to the tribe around you but there is a version of generosity that costs more than it should and leaves the person giving it depleted in ways they have learned not to mention.

You are far too willing to make sure everyone else has a full bucket even if it means you are giving the last scraps from your own to make this happen.

The question worth sitting with is not how to give less. It is how to make sure that some of what you give so generously to others is also finding its way back to you.
