I believe that is a very smart observation. How often does a very able person become burned out because everybody wants to use that persons ability? I don't know, but probably often. Some people, I think, need some quite time when other people are not using their brain.
I think there is a skill that must be learned to protect oneself somehow, but it is tricky. If you hide your abilities you can close doors, but if you let too many people use your brain you will not have time to accomplish your own goals.
Good luck! I will probably follow this thread because I think there is a lesson in here somewhere.
