to give first is the greatest blessing, and as you give when you are in need God will make sure that you have plenty

Hehehee, I love that verse because it is so true.
When we give, we get back blessings from God in return. The whole "pressed together" part is to show we don't just get what we gave, but more.
Ummm, think about it like you would brown sugar lol. If you just dump some in a cup and use it in a recipe, you aren't adding that much, and we all know that when using brown sugar you are to press it down and compact it into the measuring cup and dump it into the bowl that way.

Into your bosom — Alluding to the mantles the Jews wore, into which a large quantity of corn might be received.
With the same measure that ye mete with, it shall be measured to you again — Amazing goodness! So we are permitted even to carve for ourselves! We ourselves are, as it were, to tell God how much mercy he shall show us! And can we be content with less than the very largest measure? Give then to man, what thou designest to receive of God.

It says that if you give freely it will come back to you,and if you give little you will get little-but if you give what you can,no matter how small and it comes from the heart you will receive more that you gave-so read all of chapter 6, so that you will understand what God is saying

hmmm, I think it is very straight forward....
38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
You will be blessed if you give.

To me, it's kinda like saying "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" How you treat ppl, and how you act toward others, is the judgement that you will receive.

it has a twofold meaning
one about judging if you judge harshly they will judge you as harshly also if lend to a lowly one its like lending it to Jehovah god and he will repay you with bounty
