Draining, as leaving an aftertaste of incompleteness. It may be self-induced and even desirable, or involuntary with “third party” gaining direct benefits because of it (however, such gains are more often than not quite short-lived). Maybe dissonance (occurring due to feedback loop) would be a better word. Anyway, it’s whole new topic of actually navigating the peaks and valleys of the emerged landscape, which however is pretty individual but also self-evident.
