Hmmmmmmm!!!

Are you emotionally stingy or emotionally generous?

One who is emotionally generous is not afraid to offer genuine love, support, compassion, empathy, safety, availability, etc to their spouse. They are not afraid of losing anything - sharing & caring.

Emotionally stingy people have a miserly attitude toward sharing and giving. They are not one to encourage, support, or empathize when you need it. They are judgmental and critical of how others act. They are always there to divide and subtract from your life.

Tueeeeeehhhhh

Hmmmmmmmm!! Protect your personal space and peace of mind.

Some people are emotional leeches - they like to collect, take, receive and drain you. Emotionally stingy people like receiving and hoarding but not giving or caring.

Protect your energy and guard your mind.

E get why.

FYI: Being emotionally generous doesn't mean that you shouldn't create a healthy boundary in your relationships or friendships.

Being emotionally generous shows that you are operating from a heightened sense of self-actualization and emotional intelligence.

You know how to care for others, support others while creating or setting a healthy & respectful boundary.

You aren't allowing anyone to turn you into a doormat or slave because of your emotional generosity.

As an emotionally generous person, you also know when it is time to say "E don do. Not anymore."

Remember all emotions require moderation and this includes emotional generosity and empathy.
You are free to guard your heart & not allow anyone to take advantage of your generosity.

If you think you are emotionally stingy, you can do an honest self-reflection to figure out why emotional stinginess is part of your life. There are reasons why we behave the way we do as humans.

Do a root cause analysis
Write the things you want to change in your life

Ask yourself some WHY questions
Set some agile/SMART goals or anti-goals for behaviour modification
Implement the steps or actions that will transform your life from emotional stinginess to emotional generosity.

Give yourself grace to unlearn and be a better person.

Let us be very honest to ourselves and no need to demonize our human emotions.

There are times when we will find ourselves being emotionally stingy due to past or current experiences (maybe how we have been treated badly). Sometimes you are emotionally generous or stingy.

As we say in Behavioral Psychology - we as humans can have behavioral excesses or behavioral deficits.

So yes there will surely be moments or times in life when we are either emotionally generous or emotionally stingy.

Moderation is key when it comes to our emotions.
