Your Type
You are used to giving first, using your openness as a signal inviting others to come closer. This pattern of "using generosity to trade for relationships" actually reflects your deep anxiety about "insufficient self-worth"; you fear that if you don't offer practical benefits or warmth, others won't want to stay, so you use "constantly giving first" to ensure your weight in their heart, even if it means risking getting hurt first. But true trust shouldn't be an unequal transaction. Try doing nothing next time you meet a new friend, and simply wait for them to reach out to you; when you believe your mere existence has value, you will attract truly equal friends.
