I'm not that way in a relationship though. Not sure why that is...</p> <p>In any case, I've really tried to force myself to let people give more to me. In the past year, I've gotten so much better at this and it's really helped my friendships out.</p> <p>Do you prefer to give or receive in friendships? </p>
