Why do we have a habit of giving more than we get?

[Nazgol]

Why do we give someone attention they dont deserve? Why do we fall in love with the wrong person? Why do we strive for higher than we can get?

Well it's our natural instincts. We want someone that speaks to what we are looking for. For women, a strong confident, male provider. But let's pull this apart and let this be about red flags too!
Someone that's
Confident

Strong

Financially secure

Can be

Controlling

19 Signs of Controlling Men - Live Bold and Bloom"

This can also involve physical control.

And egotistical

In other words, only care about them selves and their preferences not yours. You are not important, they are.

But let's be clear here, you can't simply white wash a partner either, you want to respect and support each other's personalities and highlight them rather than hide them in the garage. Sharing is important. Sometimes something as simple as a framed movie poster on a wall to a movie hobby person can make them feel important.

Kindness and generosity... and that's how we get taken advantage of

I guess cause its easier to love another than ourselves. Cause we know all our flaws n have to live them. We also fail to see oirselves objectively and love things that make us great.

It’s just who I am. I’m a giver. I accept that. If I get a fraction of what I give in return I’m happy. That’s me.

I don't think it's a habit I think what it is is in a relationship is 50-50 deal and you follow through with your deal so you can't really look at it like why do they do so much why did I give so much well see that's a beautiful thing you were being you you were doing whatever it took to make it work it's not that you gave too much it's that somebody wasn't really keeping their part of their deal. And really wasn't given too much at all

That's a perception. You can't give more than you get because of caloric intake ;)

A lack of morality, decency, ethics, foundation, and selfishness.

Not at all. The only hope is that she has the stamina to keep up.😁

I never expect anything in return. I treat all women with respect

[DAVEANDERSON1]

I think that it's to do with the compelling urge to please others without necessarily expecting the same in return.

Says you. I get more than I give.
