Chastising givers who resent takers, the author says it's "..easy to forget how lovely it feels when you don’t want the spotlight and a taker lets you recline on the mezzanine while they fill the stage."
As a giver, I'd usually rather not be stuck in the "conversation" (more like, speech) that the taker is dominating.
- tacitusarc 4y agoSometimes it’s unavoidable though. During various social obligations which require your presence it can be nice to have takers around to keep things going.
- ajkjk 4y agoThe taker is probably used to talking to other takers, where each person taking time to say stuff is normal. Talking to a giver, using this terminology, can be really disorienting: it's like trying to make conversation with a person who's not participating and is just being polite.
