Thanks! I'll keep that in mind for future givings :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-giver-or-a-taker#post-764055 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:55:08 +0000 banana 764055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think both. But maybe more of a giver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-giver-or-a-taker#post-764037 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:47:10 +0000 Alivoo01 764037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a HUGE giver, and have a hard time receiving. I think it's something my parents instilled in me since childhood. Always give, and rarely receive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-giver-or-a-taker#post-764035 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:46:08 +0000 IRunForFun 764035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I try to make it more equal as well, but what I've learned is that the best thing I can do is thank him and really appreciate him for the things that he "gives." I honestly think being appreciated makes him feel better than "taking" from me, if that makes sense. He thrives on appreciation and knowing he's done something good for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-giver-or-a-taker#post-764027 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:43:58 +0000 Bao 764027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a little bit of both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-giver-or-a-taker#post-764016 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:40:46 +0000 Cherrybee 764016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At work and with my friends and family, I'm very much a giver and I struggle to accept help/compliments etc. In my relationship with DH, I probably take more than I give.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-giver-or-a-taker#post-763996 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:34:09 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 763996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mr. Bee:<br /> You know what I am! Sounds like you've been doing some reading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-giver-or-a-taker#post-763992 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:32:44 +0000 .twist. 763992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: I think I'm the same way. I'm both but DH has put me in the taker role in our relationship too because he's SUCH a giver. </p> <p>I'm working on making it more equal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-giver-or-a-taker#post-763983 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:30:43 +0000 IRunForFun 763983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I am both, but in my relationship, more of a taker. But that is ONLY because SO insists on being a giver, so I sort of fell into the taker role. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-giver-or-a-taker#post-763956 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:20:40 +0000 SugarplumsMom 763956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Total giver. Always been, but I've learned to regulate it :( I'm not much of a taker either, unless it's from someone I really trust/I'm in a happy mood. I guess I need to work on that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-giver-or-a-taker#post-763955 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:20:25 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 763955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Giver. I always feel bad asking for things/accepting help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-giver-or-a-taker#post-763947 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:17:01 +0000 mrbee 763947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I were a better taker... I'm trying to get better at accepting things when they are offered!</p> <p>Are you a giver or a taker? </p>
