Anything that is of value in life only multiplies when it is given.

I like a balance - do unto to others as they say. Whatever ever you give is paid back in spades

I actually get more gratification from giving, I don't know why but it has been like that since I was a kid , or so I have been told. I have never been one to snoop around christmas gifts, or shake a gift to see what it is, I always say thank you after receiving one, but I feel uncomfortable. I would rather see a person's reaction after I have taken the time to find them something I think they might like or need. On the other hand emotionally I would consider myself to be a taker than a giver. I always want to give comfort but I am not very good at it except when it comes to my kids. So in retrospect I am a giver materialistically and a taker emotionally.

a bit of both,I reckon,I use to be a taker in the way,that what ever I wanted I'd have,till I got my own way.I like the feeling of giving,more so than receiving,I think?I'm still a taker,in the way of if some relative gives a gift,I'll take it,and say thank-you regardless,also I try my best to slowly,but nicely persuade my family to get me something I've wanted for a while for my birthday.now I'm a giver,if I see a homeless person,I'll sometimes give money,or a bit of food like:a packet of crisps, or a sandwich filler&baguette,or a bottle of juice,or water.I believe in helping those that need help,and if I can give them some help in the way of money,or food ,then I will.I've often seen people walk by these homeless people on the street,without so much as looking at them,others have looked at them,and thought why should I bother,or care for that matter,it's not my problem.and I think "shame on you for not helping them",the same gose for old people,people just pretend their not there,if someone stops them to ask for directions,they walk away,I on the other hand,always try to do my best in giving directions(not the easiest of things,specially if you don't know the area)however,if I don't know I'll say" try at the garage across the way,they might know".people shouldn't be selfish,and ignore these people,asking for help.

I am more of a giver. I love to receive things, but I like the feeling I get when I know I made someone else happy by giving them something they might need or in joy. I'm an overly nice person and in some cases that can be bad cuz you can get walked all over. But I know in the end all my kindness will have payed off.

Im a giver,always have been i feel very uncomfortable recieving even if its my b'day not just presents but the attention aswell, but its not because im ungrateful.I love making others happy watching there faces knowing they about to open something they really really want.At times though ive been over nice and people ave tended to walk over me and ive had to learn to say no!!! but ive always been the same if ive got it you can ave it and if i havent got it i will help you get it!!!.Im not sure why im like it i think its just the way i was raised ive always had to work for what ive got i dont expect any1 to just give it me.When it comes to my children i give cuddles affection and kisses all day everyday but materials im very much how my mother was with me you got to work for em,dont get me wrong i buy them little treats now and then,but hopefully they will learn life is a bit of give and take where as i just give give and get walked over.You ave to take sometimes but i just cant.

Put me down as a taker if what you say about giving is true. I must surely be in profit if it increases in value by being given.

Husband vs wife-50%-50%

It varies. I used to be a taker... Never learned how to give... but that is changing and I like to give these days and it is working too.. you are so right.
