It's zero energy.... but kinda worse than that, it decays over time if somebody is giving you too much of it (even if at first it starts out OK) Being bored can make one feel safe though, so its not all bad- I guess I mean this is how illusionary relationships are like a defunct sort of duality right?
PoLR on the other hand is more of an immediately bad thing. Somebody uses it, hits a sore spot, you feel how you don't like it more clearly and right away. It's not like a slow death/creep kinda thing. The wound is more noticeable and bigger and glowing all red and obvious-like. You're also not good at the function yourself- so its more foreign and harder to defend against. In that way it's worse. Better in the sense, I think it's a bit more clear when its bothering you - so it can be further protected against socially. (ideally anyway, as you know- you are gonna piss off your Dual/Semi-Dual from time to time as well. =()
