Are you upset that your loved ones give LITTLE credits to your BIG efforts? Or are you disappointed for their lack of responses to these efforts? Then, maybe you’re COUNTING!
“So, how can you avoid being a person who keeps score?
First of all, you must not let the idea of payback come into play at all, whether you are on the giving or receiving end of an expression of friendship. Get out of the “who owes me” way of thinking.
Next, you must recognize and appreciate the ways that people reach out to you; this will help you do the same. You should assume that others are not keeping score either.
If you do something in order to get credit or receive something in return, you are doing it for the wrong reason.
Stop measuring your relationships; relax, be kind, and the world will suddenly seem more generous.”
Ref. The Art of Friendship, Roger and Sally Horchow
