I mean, sure, that's a great trait, but I NEVER gave people the chance to BE THERE FOR ME! So I slowly learned to ask people for help - whether it was help gardening, motivation for health and wellness related stuff, etc.<br /><br />The truth of the matter is - those people who only took and never gave, eventually faded away in my life and those people who were there for me when I asked for help - those people have become so close they are pretty much family now.
