Drink more water, listen to your body, don’t give more to someone then they give to you, respect yourself, and your time.

don’t give more to someone then they give to you

I tend to disagree on that one. Random acts of kindness/selflessness to people, even complete strangers, can bring bonus satisfaction to your life (and sometimes will be paid back). Make it a habit to give to people, when you have the chance, especially if it is low effort.

If you have people around you that just constantly leech off of you, then I agree: don’t let yourself be sucked dry.

I was more referring to your final statement. Those who take and take and never give back to use you with little regard for your own happiness or safety.
