\\xa0We don\\u2019t serve or love with the expectation of receiving back in the same way (especially if it\\u2019s someone NOT in our inner circle and we\\u2019re doing a good deed.) but in love with our inner circle without some reciprocation over time even if it\\u2019s appreciating depletes us and leaves us feeling drained, depleted, and often times leads to not having a standard of respect depending on the level of relationship. So when giving or serving, there\\u2019s no need to expect. We should give with a hope of just showing kindness. BUT with our inner circle (significant others, parents, who we consider family even if they\\u2019re not blood) recuperation is a must even if it\\u2019s not coming back to us in the same way- it\\u2019s one way to create a healthy boundary, relationships, and self respect. We cannot continually give with nothing in return. So when I talk about expectations within relationships, I\\u2019m talking about within our inner circle, the people we consider family.
