Are you a giver or taker?

VickiP

Wise Old Thumper
Just thinking about something that I have noticed, whenever I post a thread about my bunnies and pictures, there is often loads and loads of views and not really any comments I mean not even an emoticon:? I am very much a giver (can't think how else to word it) I mean if I visit a thread I generally leave a footprint of some sort in particular the photo's stories, even if it's just an emoticon. It led me to thinking would you class yourself as a giver on here or a taker? The word giver referring to response, do you generally go round giving reponse to others or do you generally get loads of responses?

I'd like to think I'm both. I can't say I'm just a giver, as I'm happy when people reply to my threads. (I don't think many people can say this.) But hey...there's nothing wrong with a bit of take.

I try to comment on everyones buns, but sometimes go through periods where I don't post much at all because I think "why bother". Then again, I don't really post about my buns when I feel like that.

I hope I give as much as I take.
 
I often post pics of my lot and dont get many responses. But then I often read threads and dont comment unless I feel I can contribute to the subject or its to say sorry or good luck. So in answer to your question I dont know :lol:
 
I'm always wanting advice, opinions and sometimes reassurance about different things so i'd say i'm predominantly a taker. However i do contribute advice and reassurance too- so i'm not sure :) I guess it depends on other peoples perspective. I like to think i'm a giver, don't we all, but in reality, i'm sure other people will be able to more accurately sum up what i am objectively than i am able to myself.

At home it's a case of i'm the one doing all the cleaning, cooking, looking after the buns, my boyfriend, my family, etc etc. I barely have time to wash my hair and put my makeup on as i've got so many things to do.

I think though you can be a taker in different ways- my boyfriend would probably say i'm a taker on an emotional level with him.

I comment when I can. :D
I don't normally get too much time at work though! :(
Then when I'm at home, I'm busy with the buns. Hehe!

I did find the same thing though when I posted some pics.
I thought it may just be as I'm new and no one really knows me yet. :?
I will continue to post though! :D
 
:lol: No I know what you mean, I was just pondering sat here in the garden looking at the bunnies why I find them so beautiful but, others will view a thread but, not even put an :love: for example, maybe I am deluded and mine aren't actually that 'pretty' to others, I'm not being over-sensitve about it as really I love them so that's what matters I just noticed that some people with more perfect bunnies maybe seem to get more responses even though they put more pictures up all the time, I class myself as a giver really but, not sure if thats better than being a taker or not, there's nothing wrong with being a taker - it's not meant like that.
 
I too go through fazes I was off work Vicky when looking a t your bonding post yesterday, but then my internet went down :cry: So didn't post, I usually try and post something on everyones, especially if they post on mine.. so I guess I am a giver and a taker not fussy me :lol:

Good on you - maybe I should aswell, even if people aren't commenting I suppose it doesn't mean they didn't enjoy looking at the pics.

No I know that, Chavesses usually aren't :lol::lol::lol: Just kidding - as you know xxx
 
I really can't imagine that anyone is going to say 'I'm a taker, so there'.

Well they cant on here cos posting would immediately prove otherwise !! :lol:

I post on threads where I might be able to help or offer support. I also post on threads with a topic on which I have an opinion. Although Admin/mods might prefer that I omitted doing the latter :D

Hmmmm I comment loads on General Chat, pic's and Rainbow Bridge. I don't post much in the "Rabbit" sections, because I usually end up offending someone about hutch sizes or haven't had experience with many rabbit ailments.

Bit daft I suppose as this IS a rabbit forum :roll::lol:
 
This is true, haha and it has literally taken me untill today to get back to normal after the festival... my head was BENT

:lol: What time did you get back then? My head is BENT from being paranoid to go to sleep - I keep thinking the bonding is too good to be true and waking up every 2 hours to check them:roll::lol:
