What we typically do is give what we usually expect to receive or desire to. Sometimes it's not that way but a lot of the time it is. some people are encouragers, some are givers, others are caretakers, etc... each of us has a varied number of ways to give love to others
there isn't really a finite definition of it.

Yes that is all very true... I am trying to put together a synergy. And not limit my perspective so I am open and flexible here. Both on the giving and receiving end. For example. knowing that someone is expressing love, even if it is not the way I would naturally think of it. Has meaning. It means yes they do love you.
parenthetical to this...for me I have a few issue with altrusim. meaning I may do something and expect nothing in return. That is not a problem. But when someone does something for me, I may not return it. which then causes me an unintended problem.
thank you.
