If you are keeping score its not a relationship worth having. You do what you can with what you have to work with. In some areas my significant other is much needier than I am. In other areas I am much needier than she is. We don't hold back, but give what we have to give and accept what we are offered believing that if there was more to give it would have been given and that what has been given in love should be accepted. I hope that's not confusing.

I agree that they both go hand in hand. Your charecter is what most people see the first time they see you. Your repuation is what they hear about  before they see you or what they formulate after they meet you. Each supports and equals the other.

Gifting can be an effective way to show love; but it can also encourage selfishness and a "give me" attitude in the recipient, as well as come to supplant the giver in her mind.\n\nThe most valuable gift, as always, is time [spent with someone]; and that sort of gift tends to reinforce the recipient's attachment to the giver, not the gift.

I am a taker. I will argue over paying a bill. But i eat the food others cook, or enjoy things that others do for me. I try to even it out but I know my true nature is being a taker.

Santa is the unselfish good in all of us.  Giving without being acknowledged as the giver is the greatest feeling in the world.  That is why there are so many anonymous givers in the world.  It feels great, and makes someone else happy.

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift."---Steve Prefontaine\n\nKeep pushing.  A talented person is often overrated, and someone with great ambition is often underestimated.

I think the fundermental answer to this question is what you want basically. Personally, I think it should be ourselves because surely if we look after ourselves then we can look after all the others as well. \n\n\n\n\n\n*I managed a totally sensible answer :D)

I think you are given things in your when you are ready to receive them. For instance, I never really wanted children but I have inherited some through my bf and they are really a gift. They help keep me straight and focused on what is really important in life.

Neither. It's pure selfishness.\nYou give to get approval, in return. You only care about yourself.\nIn actuality you give nothing.

I was taught if you want something go get it on your own. No one should have to give you anything at all. What is the pride in hand outs?

No, I personally would only give money to someone who had obvious material needs, & not for emotional needs.  My advice to you is try to find a way to be happy that isn't based on materialism.

We know that it is better to give in most cases however,when we allow someone to give a gift to us,we open a door for them to be blessed for giving.God uses people.If we disallow someone"with good intentions"to give to us,we may be turning down a blessing sent from God.In that case it could be almost as important to recieve.
