Of course women go after what they want- but you do it at the expense of others. The expert reckon you`re trying to fill a hole in your soul.Grabbers operate through fear of not having enough money, enough love or enough attention. The solution? Start giving. Try volunteer work to break your grabby habit. It might be uncomfortable at first, but after a few stabs, it`ll start to feel pretty good.
8-11 POINTS
You Only Get What You Give
Lucky you. You understand the joy of giving, but you do it for the right reasons. You don`t feel obliged to give and you only do it when when you want to. You probably grew up in a home with an exchange of, and respect for one another`s ideas. Think of your flexibility as a gift that has earned you, true friend and healthy relationships.

I`d Give Everything I Own
Generous to a fault, that`s you-probably because you didn`t receive enough attention as a child. Maybe your parents made you feel you had to be perfect to get their approval. Now, you feel you have to buy love. Escape mega-magnanimity by trying not to be a pushover. Once you stop short-changing yourself, you won`t lose your friends. In fact, you`ll gain their respect and see how valuable you are.
