The words describe the action accurately. When we caretake someone, we are energetically taking something, since it is not a clean transaction.

Should the word "mindlessness" be in this sentence instead of "forgetfulness"?

I have been moving out of the conscious mind to the deeper self.

Why do I sometimes feel like I’m a captive of my own weakness?

For the past couple of years, I have felt fear starting to creep into my life, slowly trying to take over, and I’m ready to take control and give my true spirit the reigns again.

I’ve changed friends a lot over the past few years, and I’m starting to think that as the only constant in these relationships - the problem is with me.

I’d rather have him as a friend than not at all, but the idea of not having a romantic relationship with him is absolutely devastating.

Do you have any advice for me on how to engage better with family/friends who don’t want to change, when you can feel what they are going through? They want it, but they don’t do it.

I feel scared to continue my daily meditation practice although deep down I feel that I should go further.

In the past, I could manage this pain by volunteering, meditating, studying karma, and/or practicing gratitude, but none of these are working as of late

I know in the grand scheme of addictions, Internet porn is not that big of a deal, but I feel like cumulatively it has isolated me and made me feel awkward in developing more intimate relationships.

Is this astrology a real thing or useful?

I’ve had so much pain and sadness in my life that it is sad to think that a woman in her mid 40s hasn’t been able to make a better go at being happy…

I am sad and frustrated, and just need someone to validate it.

I am going through many emotions with this one. I can’t seem to completely detach, and this is where a lot of the pain is. Is this karma? Can you help me make sense of this?

I feel I've got so much noise in my life that it would just be easier to run and hide than face everything. I know this vicious circle will never end and follow me until I deal with it, but where do I begin?

I just wondered if you have any words of wisdom about how I might help myself remain sturdy and remember my worth in the face of someone who is throwing a lot my way?

There is a force in me - that anything I touch becomes a disaster.

I feel like I must have jumped extremes and there is a better way to do the whole selfish/no obligation/take direct care of myself thing.

Is it true that understanding and even partly being able to forgive overwhelming violent impact doesn’t end the story?
