I would say i spent most of my life as a giver. My mother was bipolar and i dropped out of school for 3 years to take care of her instead of putting her in a home. I also took care of my grandmother while she was in hospice. I worked volunteer in a nursing home.
However after the birth of my daughter for a short time i had to learn to be a taker. I had to learn to take help from others because i had a very bad c section. I had to have 3 unit transfusion and be reopend. I realized i couldn't do it myself and started accepting help from others.
so on the most part i try to be a giver but i have learned to be a taker when necessary.

Sometimes I think all I do is give and give without ever getting anything back, but I know it's not as bad as it seems sometimes. I am a generous person and I tend to feel bad when other people do nice things for me. There are a lot of pretty selfish people in my life, so that combined with my occasional reluctance to accept others' help and giving doesn't make me much of a taker. But if I had more opportunities I probably would. A lot of the time I have to give many times as much as I want to get when it comes to the selfish people in my life. So while I am a kind and generous person, and like giving, I must admit that I am, much of the time, a giver out of necessity. I have to give and give and give to get a bit of what I need and want. That's just the way my life is.

To be honest I am a life giver. I have gave so much to my family and also helped in school. Below are some of teh things I have helped for in my life.
* Was a student assistant in school.
* Helped out a nurse in orlando
* Helped my grandma after her surgery.
* Always helped my teacher Ms.Thomas organize her papers and messy classroom.
* Cleaned the house when My mom couldnt.
* Tutored some students in my school
I have more I just cant remember them all. So far this is what I have given in the past 3 months I think.
=) I am honest. Hope to god and cross my heart. Please believe me. Most people don't like my friends over at milwaukee. But the only one that know if it is true or not is god and family. TAKE CARE.

Givers need the acceptance of what they give, it fills a need they have, hence they take that acceptance and are just as much takers as givers. I think of myself as a giver but am not sure how I would respond if my giving was routinely rejected. Giving and taking are flip sides of the same coin.

I have always been a giver, but there was a tragedy in our family 6 months ago, and I have been a taker. It is very strange, and I am not uncomfortable with it yet. I am still a little out of it.

I think I'm probably a giver more than a taker. I don't necessarily think that's good though.
