Para.1
We can spot others who give far too much in relationships. These are people who fatigue themselves attending endlessly to others. They receive little thanks, and the giving takes on a compulsive, one-way pattern. What other traits exist alongside constant and compulsive caregiving to others? There are seven characteristics I’ll talk about, derived from my 40 years of clinical work with people.
Para.2
1. How do such people appear to others when delivering constant care? There may be a sense of smugness or pride in over-giving. This may reveal an identity or personality formed proudly around such excessive giving.
2. Over-givers dislike receiving care from others. People have told me they become very uncomfortable when others want to reciprocate and care for them. They feel that receiving sends a message that they are weak and deficient.
Para.3
3. Over-givers experience high self-esteem when giving to others. When they fail to give satisfactorily or when they accept help from others, they harbor low self-esteem. They feel and believe that care is for others, not for them.
4. In clinical work, I find people who give too much overvalue the people they give to, finding others’ desires and needs more important because they think the recipients are important people. Givers devalue their own needs and wants. This is why they put others first a lot of the time.
Para.4
5. Givers are uncomfortable with recognition, praise, and thanks for what they do for others. As a result, they seek relationships where they get no positive feedback and no thanks or are ignored.
6. Many over-givers support others even when the relationship has died and is no longer viable. Givers hang on and tolerate nothing in return for a long time before calling the relationship quits.
Para.5
7. Despite feeling compelled to over-give, people who give too much in some relationships do need emotional support in return. They chafe at accepting help and support, and this sets them up for anxiety and depression. They become anxious when trying to satisfy others to such a total perfectionistic degree: Am I doing enough? Am I doing it perfectly to their satisfaction? Depression arises if any perceived failure takes place in satisfying another’s needs and wants.
