This is a message from my auntie...
"I did a show about this a couple of years ago
So, “Watch out for people who always give you things" means to be cautious of individuals who excessively give gifts, as this behavior could be a sign of manipulative tactics, seeking undue influence, or a need for control, potentially with the expectation of something in return from you, even if it's not explicitly stated.
Why you should be cautious:
Guilt-tripping:
By constantly giving gifts, they might make you feel obligated to reciprocate in a way that benefits them, potentially leading to guilt if you can't return the favor.
Controlling behavior:
Excessive gift-giving can be a way to manipulate your actions or decisions by making you feel indebted to them.
Underlying motives:
Sometimes, the gifts could be a facade to hide a less-than-genuine relationship, with the giver seeking something specific from you.
What to do if you suspect this behavior:
Set boundaries:
Be clear about your comfort level with receiving gifts and politely decline if you feel pressured.
Observe their behavior:
Pay attention to the context of the gift-giving."
This is me:
"I don't always give gifts... But I do choose to treat people the way that I would like to be treated. Because I want to. Even if it's not reciprocated. It doesn't need to be. It's not expected. I don't look for anything in return. I do it because it brings me peace. I can sleep better at night. No regrets. No fears. I can die content. I wake up with a clean slate. I don't hold grudges. I don't hold on to resentment or unforgiveness. It goes against my character. My nature. No one owes me anything. I don't need recognition to do what WE ARE ALL supposed to be doing in the first place. I don't need validation. The Spirit of God justifies me. I serve with Love. Unselfish Love. I have that God given right to choose. I'm just a servant."💯
"And when doing all you can to STAND - alone... STAND - TOGETHER! 💪🏿 ✊🏿🙏🙎🏿♂️
