Are you a giver or are you a taker The world which we live in is a funny old world and so can be said for the people who live in this world. In this world there are two kinds of people. there is the people give so much and don’t take very much in return. Then you get the people who always are willing to take and take and give very little back. I, myself I’m a giver or so I believe. I often giving support to people, trying to help wherever I can. Often going out of my way into things for people then end up not doing my old work. I often get side tracked into help others because I have that feeling I need to help. There are some people do take advantage though, then I get upset for letting myself be used. Which sort of person are you?

I am a giver and sometimes I get taken by people but now I have come to be more observant of people and what they are saying or what they want from me.

Many of us get taken advantage of often, although it does seem a little unfair to classify people into just two such categories. Many people do fall in between and give and take.

@T_gray I have that problem to too, Saying yes without thinking about it or not knowing I did say yes first place. I agree i come scream at times because it happens why to much. I'm slowly learning to sometime so no but it's very rare i do. I guess i'm always too willing to please people and it backfires on me and end up getting used.

@kevin1877uk I can't say no. I have a huge problem with that. Even when I know they are using me. I still can't say no. Even though I am screaming no in my head

@sugartoes Hence the saying, no good deeds went unpunished. it's basically directed at these people. Give freely but wisely.

I think I am a giver, but I love getting advices from people. I don't care giving and not getting back nothing in sites like that or to people who need something. But in the love field I have learned it is a big mistake to give without no feedback. It's not bringing an open window to the other side to express himself and it makes him take things for granted. A only giving person must teach himself how to take.
