Personality

You're a walking little sun. Who got dumped, who's working late, who skipped dinner: your radar is tracking all of it. Your sense of responsibility comes with a lifetime warranty. Taking care of people makes you feel useful, and being needed makes you feel grounded. Family matters a lot to you, your friends' problems become your problems, and your worrying is HOA-president level. But save some of that warmth for yourself. Take care of you first, and your warmth becomes renewable energy instead of something that burns you out.

Watch out for

If you were a character
