If all they want to do is take care of you then they get on your nerves.  If there is never anything you can do for them then you get pissed.  When you don&amp;#039;t do shit for them because you think they don&amp;#039;t want anything, they get pissed.   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;*&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Givers:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;  Let me begin by admitting that I am a Giver, to a flaw.   Givers sound like good people and they usually are but they have their flaws just like anyone else.
