Hotspot

When you become the connection for others — sharing your energy, knowledge, or stability so others can get online.

Amaya Khan and the White Roommate

High fit

Hotspot is when you become the connection for others, sharing your energy and stability so they can function. Amaya Khan had been operating as her roommate's emotional hotspot, consistently providing support and energy. When her family member was detained by ICE and she needed support, her roommate couldn't reciprocate. Amaya shifted from automatically sharing her emotional bandwidth to recognizing when the exchange was completely one-sided.
