I recently made a gift for a friend of my mum because she hadn't been given any birthday pressies, (even by her 2 adult children ffs). It made me sad.

I think I'm fairly generous.

The only thing I'm not generous with is trust. I like to think the best of people, to the point of being gullible sometimes, but it takes me a long time to truly trust a person.

"To those I like, yes x"

Are you mean to those you don't like?

"Very, to those who deserve it or I just want to be generous too.

How do they deserve it?"

By not being selfish, thoroughly unpleasant individuals, or those that only take, from my point of view.

Maybe deserve is the wrong of word..

I wouldn't be generous to those who annoy, me, fuck me over etc so, only to those i want to be generous too.

Yes.

I also don't judge before I give.

Sometimes those that you want to give to least need it the most.

However...... i'm not a push over and generosity can be in spirit and assistance.

Money isn't always the answer.

Ask the people who said it, I didn`t.

Only if you are magnanimous with them.

It rarely is, in my experience, but it can provide useful assistance.

With some people I can be. If they don't deserve my time or efforts (whether financial or otherwise) they can go fuck themselves.

To those who do deserve it I'm infinitely generous.

I like to think that I am generous even though I am not often in the position to be so lately.

Finances apart, I have empathy for others and will give my time and experience of life, to those whom it would help.

I believe I can be more so... Sometimes when I'm driving I have doh' moment when I feel I could have given someone way....be it driver or a pedestrian.

Or other times perhaps I could maybe help up an old lady whom I've tripped up just as she was about to cross a busy road.

I've got much to work on.

To those I care for, I would say I'm generous. Everyone else, I can be, but that's more to make myself feel good than for their benefit.

"To some? Yes.

To others? Feck no!

Is that just in terms of things or spirit too?"

Both.

Based on personal perception, evaluation and judgement.

If it helps them along the way that sounds like a win win.

I read your Serendipity thread. I have been paying it forward since someone helped me 26 years ago.

Yes...too much of a giver had one or two take advantage... Keep saying I'm not going to be as giving and more selfish...

Learning to say no isn't a reduction in generosity.
