Are you generous or just an over-giver?
There's a difference.
Something to think about. "When you give and give and give and possibly give some more, it’s because you’re an over-giver. You don’t truly believe that you without the excessive giving is enough."
So we give too much in order to receive praise and attention that then gives us a feeling of esteem. But it's ungrounded esteem, that does not come from within but from without.
Over-giving is also a sign of codependency.
The sky will not fall down if you quit the excessive giving. Start giving a little more to yourself, it's healthier.
