[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP that's being labeled a taker.

OP (and others like her) don't know how to ask for what you want?

"Ask and you shall receive" has been a mantra in personal life and career. Others can't read your mind if you don't ask for it![/quote]

Dude, if I have to tell you give as well as take, you're a child. This sort of "well, you didn't specifically ask me to reciprocate, so you can't be mad that I never do" mentality is just more selfishness on your part. Did you have to ask for what you took/received from the people you're not giving back to? Probably not.

There are people in this world who pay attention to what needs doing and get it done, and then there are people like you who need to be asked to help.

Lazy, and selfish. [/quote]

So you're just victim blaming? How ironic.[/quote]

How does being a taker make YOU the victim?! Thieves aren't victims. They're perps. [/quote]

+1000 seriously, PP stop derailing this thread with your 'alternate facts' and narcisism.

OP, been there, done that. I just take a mental tally of who reciprocates and if they don't, I'm not mad at them, but I don't go out of my way anymore. I learned that in one of my first jobs. I was always helping the same person who was a day late/dollar short/couldn't get their work done until the other coworkers asked me two questions 1) have you ever seen her NOT need help? 2) have you ever seen her help someone else. If both answers are 'no', put the person on your permanent 'do not help' list so you can help them independently learn better skills instead of being an inexhaustible time/resource suck.[/quote]
