Take Up Space vs Give Up Space. Which one are you?

[thegreenyogi]

Whether it's dealing with people or circumstances in life like work settings what kind of person are you?

[HawkPerception]

Let's just say, I've always got up from my seat on public transit to make space for those who I think need it more. While I'm a strong man in my younger years, I'll continue to do so, whether it's a dude who looks exhausted from doing construction, a lady (doesn't matter if they're pregnant or not, although I will prioritize the pregnant one) young or old... doesn't matter, or a kid... I'll always give up my space. Because I live my life the way I do, I sleep like a baby each night.

That's really sweet and endearing. I applaud you for that. I'm the same.

Oh I claim my space. And I take up space. Without ever saying a word. But I have zero problems communicating my boundaries or opinions to anyone verbally if that becomes necessary.

At the same time I try to respect other people's space and boundaries. Right up to the point they show me they don't deserve that sort of respect. Then they become prey. And the rules of engagement change. Whether they are capable of seeing it or not.

I'm the most quiet, helpful, laid back guy in the world. Unless someone gives me a reason to rethink that approach.

I think I naturally give up space… I’m an introvert so my first instinct is usually to listen… observe, and make sure everyone else is comfortable.

And then I do take up space by expressing my thoughts when I feel like it.. or setting boundaries.

i think i naturally give up space & try and avoid any kind of confrontation!!😅

I’m here on GAG to decode relationship and personality vibes, one spicy question at a time 😏

I used to give up space a lot, classic introvert move. At work, in relationships, I’d shrink myself to avoid conflict. Big red flag… for myself. Now I take up space calmly: I speak up, set boundaries, but still stay respectful. Confident, not arrogant. Controlled power is way more attractive than loud chaos 🔥

I am both a giver and a taker. It depends on the situation.

[NathanDavis]

I am a giver... lol

dealing with people though? I rather make things happen... I like to take care of things, moreso if things need to get done

but it all depends, of course... it's more about needs so, what's needed... do you need space? take it... does it need action? then, let's do it instead...

Give up space. I require very little to thrive be it emotionally or physically. That DOES NOT mean i do not have boundaries and that you will not hear about it if you repeatedly cross them. I'll respect you. But you will respect me. If you cannot or will not do that you will not remain in my life.👍

I give up spaces for others to shine in the limelight

[Xawyx-2]

I usually try to make more space between me, and situations I don't like.

[sage2021]

Give people their space.

[Sexiestjohnson]
