Nobody tells me what I’m going to do or where I will be going and when that happens

I am open to invitations or requests or suggestions. But I will never respond to this as a statement of fact in the course of normal discourse

    If you are a giving person, you have to put a limit on how much you can give. Takers have no limit.

    I have to remember to look out for myself because even though I’m trying to look out for a lot of people I care about, no one is looking out for me.

      In my experience it’s not so much about putting a limit as it is about avoiding takers and finding other givers. But one has to be careful not to be used. :)

        I find it’s important to allow yourself to be vulnerable to a moderate degree, to give people the chance to expose themselves as a giver or taker.
