I have had many things taken from me but I do think I am a giver. Would offer more than I had to help people out.

both

I give freely of what I have, I also graciously accept or 'take' when others give

I do have a hard time asking for anything though, just appreciating what Im given,,,,

I'm a taker. I took time out for the wife and kids. I take every opportunity to help others. I just take and take.

I'm a giver mostly due to the fact that I was raised around parents who were always helping others and got great joy from doing so. :thumbsup:

Used to be a giver, a pleaser, eternal helper, mostly at my own expense.
Now I got healthier borders so if I give, it's okay, I don't overdo anymore. I've also learnt to receive when given, whether it's material or a compliment.
Just like MsHarmony I feel that asking for things is somewhat more difficult still, although I do do it at times. Depends on what it's about I guess.

Must say I find it typical that everyone says he/she's a giver, as if there's something wrong with taking? Both giving and taking can be wrong and hurtful to yourself (and others) if there is no inner balance. Seems to me that ppl think it looks better to say they're a giver and saying you're a taker means you're selfish.

Cause I'm a Giver
And I'm a Taker
I'm a lover
earth mover and shaker
I play my music in the sun

I'm a joker
An ex-smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one

Changed some words to protect the innocent...

:smile: My own Daughter scold me for this(giver) but its just me i guess? I'm really working to bring a balance to this,but its really hard ! People throughout life had that option, "Taking Advantage"of my good Nature. But i always tell her" if it puts them in Heaven with it , Then it may keep me out of Hell-o without it. It always comes back!!happy

This originally came from a song, "the Joker" by Steve Miller Band
It has a line about people call him Maurice, cause he speaks of the Pompatus of Love or Pompitous of Love.
