The 2 Types of People You Will Meet: Givers and Takers

After meeting thousands of people, we feel that people can be
categorized into 2 distinct groups...

Social Value Givers and Social Value Takers

The phrases "giving value" vs. "taking value" are popular and are often used terms in the self-development community.

What's missing is the definition of what it means to really give value, and what it means to take value. What we'll cover are the hallmark differences between the two, and hopefully, you will be convinced why it is important to be a social value giver to pave the road towards your personal social success.

Ok, the reality is there is no clear cut definition. It's really about how about a person makes you feel in any given interaction.

What is a social value giver?

Imagine you are meeting someone for the very first time. For some reason, you feel at ease with this person when you are in conversation with them, and they are actually interested in what you are saying and doesn't interrupt you while you speak. There's a genuine connection between you and this person, and you can sense that this person has a genuine heart and they are willing and able to lend you a helping hand in your life. Because of this, you want to help them and be their friend.

What is a social value taker?

Have you ever met someone and when you met them, for some reason, you felt somewhat put off? After meeting them, you felt less secure about yourself. Maybe they approached you in an aggressive or an over-the-top manner. Maybe they made you feel like you had to keep important information to yourself. Maybe you even felt like you had to keep your wallet or purse closer to you. On the urface, this person didn't seem to be any kind of threat, but for some reason your guard went up based on how this person made you feel.

What we are really trying to convey is when we refer to value giving and value taking, we are talking about the emotional energy that you bring to an interaction.

To put this in simpler terms, we consider our definition of value giver the same as being a cool person. A person we feel better off for having met. If you take anything, remember this one thing. A social value giver is synonymous with being a cool person, a person who you feel better off for having met.
