offloading energy onto others

[Julian gabriel]

I deluded myself into thinking that I was being compassionate and giving to others when in reality it seems that I was trying to offload my energy onto them because it was too much for me to hold. How do I tell if I am offloading my energy in order to genuinely love them, or just to get it off of me?

Nothing wrong with doing both. A relationship is a give and take, you offload onto them and they offload onto you. That's what venting is for.
