  • The first thing is to look up a list of masking traits, then consider which you might do. Then consider when and where you do them and how much energy the take or stress is involved.

    T️he ones that are draining you you might want to consider first. You might want to keep some or all, but ration the energy they use.

    If you have no issues then just carry on. There's no obligation to do anything. The issue may be the level of authenticity in some relationships, but that is a personal issue.

    If you keep having burnouts or other issues, it would be wise to change something though, to try to avoid them.

    It single biggest thing besides sleep, is giving yourself permission to not push so hard.
