True or False. You get what you give?

[Simslover92]

I don't know if I believe this. You can give so much to people and get so little in return.

This song says basically don't give up, you gonna get what you give. But I'm still waiting on that.

True

False

No i wish it worked like that, but it's never worked that way to me for me.\n Out of everybody I know, I'm The Giver of material, things of time of knowledge of love of patience, wisdom, and I give it, because I'm there, I'm in that moment. I don't do it because I want something back but after a while you think about it

And you have to ask yourself, is this fair or is this right? But life's not fair life's not right, but it takes a person like you that understands what's going on. And you would make it right

Just you asking this question sees what side of the fence you have been on because you are The Giver of everything to people.\nAnd like with me\nPeople just take advantage of it

And I could b**** and moan about it, but at the same time, I can't, because that's just who I am, it's what I do. I've been that way on my life

And I'm glad the US question, because I'm glad the way I just answered. It might be the reason when I do a job for somebody and they start telling me how good it is , and thank you so much and blah blah blah and I don't even want to hear it , I don't care and maybe that's the reason why is because I do so much for people and I never hear that, but then I do things for people that pay me.\n And I don't want to hear it, I don't know, it's weird. Something for me to think about I guess

This is absolutely false. You frequently get something different than what you give and less than what you give.

[sage2021]

I don't find that it's true because I am kind to everyone and there are very few people who are truly and honestly kind back to me. It's rare that someone is kind back to me, but it does happen occasionally.
It sure isn't even for sure.

[sage2021]

Thank you for the MHO ❣️🙂

Well, in my opinion, it’s not about waiting to get a return from someone or to treat you the same, it’s mostly about what makes you feel comfortable and feeling good with yourself and karma isn’t real

[AI Opinion]

I really feel this one. 💔

“ You get what you give ” is emotionally true more than literally true. Life and people aren’t fair. You can pour love, time, and energy into others and not get it back from them.

But what you give does shape you. It can return in other forms: self-respect, better boundaries, new people, unexpected chances. Don’t stop giving, just stop giving to the wrong people and places. Protect your heart while keeping it open. 🌱✨

I say yes and no, you give negativity, speaking from experience, you get it back and same with positivity.

But it seems there's some sense that if kindness is given with the expectation of a return, then certainly the opposite will happen, they'll bleed them dry, giggle and leave.

Don't be too nice and stand up for myself sounds like a reasonable policy for me to adopt

[NathanDavis]

I give, give, give... give, without expecting back

that has been the meaning of my life for quite some time now

the fact that the people in my life like to reciprocate, well... that's just fortunate

[Nikki1989]

In the messy reality of human life, it is true but with some fine print thrown in. In most cases, however, you get out of life what you put in. Nobody is rewarded for sitting on the couch all day.

[FreyaRed]

Sometimes it pays of to be generous but statistically it doesn't.

That's why is making a show while investing minimal amount of effort best option.

[OlderAndWiser]

I think that is a poorly articulated way of saying that people will not treat you any better than you treat them. I agree with that statement.

[HawkPerception]

False. Many people give and never get anything in return. That's why they say when you give something, never expect anything in return.

[Flower7]

False because some people put out a lot of effort in life but don’t get as much as they deserve.

[queenofcardio]

False - You may never receive anything. Nothing is certain. Outcomes are not promised

[MrChinaski]

You gain growth, perspective and wellbeing from helping others, not gold bars.

[douride2]

I think it can go both ways. But for the most part I think you get back what you put into something.

[KrisKris81]

I think it's true on a macro level (as in the universe) and it's a crap shoot at the micro level. Keep your friends close.

[qwerty2469]

You get what you take. Leftovers come to those that wait

[Master_Debator]

False... I don't get a bunch of dick.
