ESSENCE: Real care and nurturing
Real care and nurturing:
They like to take care of people. They tend to sacrifice themselves completely in this task and they are always ready to help others. It is as if nothing short of total devotion is good enough. They tend to carry the burden of the whole world on their shoulders. The feeling behind this that they may be left on their own if they don't provide this service. They feel that only total devotion and nurturing will prevent their relationship coming to an end.
Exhausted from caring:
Because they get so totally absorbed in taking care of things they eventually get exhausted. There is no limit to the amount of time and energy they will give to the nurturing of others, so they never have a moment to themselves. Then they want to do ten things at once and they become chaotic and hurried. Until they are totally exhausted and then they'll become very irritable. Anything, any remark or request may be the last straw and eventually they will just droop in a chair or fall asleep in the middle of doing something.
