Which is more rewarding, giving or receiving? Giving means providing something to somebody. You can give material stuff such as a gift. You can give emotional support, like offering a listening ear or the traditional shoulder to cry on. You can give spiritual closeness, such as sharing the path to personal growth. Receiving is the other way around: someone else is providing you with presents, with support or consolation. Is it for you more fulfilling to show a friend your love by means of tangible stuff, your time, availability? Or is it more gratifying to feel loved, appreciated, cared for? You might like to find out if you experience greater inner satisfaction when you can prove to a dear one that you love, appreciate, care for them, or if you feel better when you are the recipient of such "gifts". Besides, do you express gratitude in the first case? Do you need to be thanked in the second?
