I'm naturally a giver in my relationships, be it with my parents, ils, brother, DH, friends. I relish in the act of giving moreso than any other feeling in the world. I have a difficult time receiving help or gifts, though DH spoils me and I love it now 
DH says he's naturally a receiver, because he was an only child and enjoys being "taken care of" (what man doesn't LOL). The dynamic works for us.
How about you?

I'm a mix of both, but my husband is such a giver. He's so cute because he feels so bad when he can't help others, but sometimes it's a bit too much and he stretches himself too thin to I have to reel him back in a bit.

I think I'm both! I tend to have trouble receiving sometimes, I'm told I don't do well with compliments etc... but I really enjoy giving. I go overboard at Christmas and always am giving little gifts to friends and family just to see their reaction.

We are both givers. I think it is because we are both the oldest child and had to take care of our siblings.

I think I am a giver even though I am an only child! But I had told that I am a atypical. No one ever guesses that I an only child.

I'm a giver. It has gotten harder as our budget has shrunk but now I work on handmade items. My husband is a giver of love and attention, I'm the giver of stuff.

I think we both like giving and receiving. I'm the baby in my family so I'm used to getting things, but I still love giving too.
