Are you an "Auto-Giver"?

18 minutes

Selina Iddon explores the concept of "auto givers," discussing the joy and habit of giving and the emotional attachment that comes with it. She distinguishes between thoughtful and automatic giving, offering insights on identifying if you're an auto giver. The episode compares the feelings associated with both giving styles and examines the dynamics of giving and receiving in relationships. Selina delves into love languages and their impact on how we give and receive. She concludes by highlighting the idea that receiving can also be a form of giving, wrapping up with thoughtful reflections on these dynamics.

Giving is great, whether it be your time, services, gifts or a compliment, it can make others and yourself happy. What happens though when you cross the line and become an auto-giver? The line between expected happiness is fragile and rarely will leave you fulfilled or consistently happy.
In this episode we look at the fine line between being an auto-giver which is connected to emotions Vs a thoughtful-giver which is attached to a commitment.
