I'm so sorry! I know it really hurts to want to give and no one wants what you're offering. Have you thought that maybe you're trying too hard? Maybe you're giving more than they can handle...

I have a friend like that. She's saved me on more than one occasion by her giving nature. I haven't talked to her in a while because the last time she was here, she drove me nuts! She thought she was helping me but instead, I felt like she was telling me everything I was doing wrong. There are just times when I can't handle too much "getting." Maybe it's my independent nature or maybe it's my anxiety. I'm not sure which, but...

I'm not saying that you're that way, of course... but it might be something to consider.

Oh, something else. A "giver" very often finds it difficult to "get" in return. Many people, for some reason, think that a "giver" never "needs!"
