Giving
What is Giving?
You offer your time, energy, and attention freely within this relationship. Your generosity is not transactional — you give because you genuinely care about this person's experience. This quality creates an atmosphere where both people feel they can ask for what they need.
When you might feel giving
Giving is a specific form of generous, which itself is a type of supportive. You might experience this feeling in situations where supportive is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define giving.
