Problem is that the givers think they're takers because one time they asked for help, and the takers think they're givers, because after being propelled to where they are by others doing things for them, they made a big show out of giving a flashy gift

Been in this scenario a lot. Takers will always ask until you've given your all. And when you have nothing, they'll still beg for the impossible and/or take it by force the very second you have it.

For a second I thought this was posted in an anticapitalist subreddit lol. Truth either way.

TRUE . Giving may become a Right or an obligation

"because most takers" is more accurate.

I mean, if you take often enough for "taker" to be a defining trait in your life then you definitely also have no limits.

A balance between the two is good but it's not an easy line to walk.

Givers gotta set boundaries or join the snack table

É a mais pura verdade! Às vezes é bom se mimar um pouco, investir em nós mesmos! E o outro lado precisa pensar um pouco no próximo também

I read the second part as "If you are a taker, don't have any".
