Aaron Doughty explains why constantly giving energy to others without receiving any back drains your magnetism. He traces this pattern to childhood conditioning that made one-sided giving feel normal, and introduces the concept of energy cords connecting you to people. Recognizing which relationships take versus give back lets you reclaim your power.
What a lot of people don't know that is draining them from literally being the most magnetic selves is they are interacting with other people where they are giving a lot of energy, but there's no inflow of energy coming back to them. So that energy is literally being drained. They're giving to other people and they're feeling depleted. And it's literally like they're not feeling magnetic because they're just giving away their energy. They've simply normalized it. And one of the reasons they may do that is because maybe in childhood it felt normal to give away energy in an unfair, unbalanced way. So there was this give, give, give, give, never a receiving. But maybe that felt normal. It felt— it's equal to the identity. It's equal to the sense of worthiness. I am not worthy of having that energy come back. Who am I to also be in relationships that are healthy to me? Who am I to be in healthy dynamics like that. So one of the things for people to realize when it comes to these energy strands or these energy cords is that if you want to have more energy, become aware of the energy that you have with other people in your life and whether being around them is energy giving or energy taking.
