Original Advice
“DONT: Keep score of favors; ask directly next time.”
Stop Counting, Start Asking
You’ve been generous with a calculator. Every favor you give becomes a receipt you tuck under your shell, waiting to be redeemed without saying so. That’s not care; that’s a quiet contract nobody signed. It’s selfish in soft clothes. Resentment isn’t intuition, it’s unmailed postage. People are not mind readers. Stop nibbling at the edges. If you need something, open your mouth and ask. Clean, plain, now.
Keeping count feels safe because it pretends to balance the scales. You avoid the risk of a no by building silent debt. But invisible debts collect interest in bitterness. Be cleanly selfish: ask. Direct requests reveal who shows up, save you from guessing, and teach your world how to treat you. Precision is generosity. Clarity keeps your heart from molding in the damp.
Cosmic Context
