Is Giving Better Than Receiving?

[@JayAntoinette]

I prefer to give rather than receive, especially when it comes to gifts, because I'm truly terrible at faking enthusiasm for a lackluster gift.

[@Kram1032]

+JayAntoinette are you saying you don't like those hot pink, puke green socks I crocheted for you last Christmas? :(

[@JayAntoinette]

Kram1032 …Ohhhh..those?…Uhh Yeaaahhh. I loved them… I wear them every night. Hehehe..heh.

[@tokidokitomato2885]

+JayAntoinette Same except I'm also bad at showing I'm enthusiastic when I receive gifts I really like. ; w ;

[@brucewan763]

+Tokidoki Tomato me too

[@digitalbread4574]

+JayAntoinette There is a mode of receiving called (receiving for the sake of giving) meaning if i have a desire to give you a gift, and you don't take it because you prefer to give and not receive. That would be egoism in a sense. Now if you take the gift I want to give you and you enjoy it for the SAKE of giving me a chance of enjoying the pleasures of giving, then your inner taking becomes outer giving and we both get to enjoy theses altruistic pleasures together.

Finally a Video about Bottoming or Topping

[@pacmanloving]

+Jose Dunand I wish they'd actually make one though. it'd be interesting

[@charleywallace1442]

Petition for this to be a thing plz

[@eduardofromtx]

I thought that's what it was gonna be lol😂

[@mattcolins9264]

+Jose Dunand My actual thought when this video popped up in my subscription box!

[@viper4045]

+Jose Dunand You read my mind

[@courtneycrawford1998]

can never get enough of asap :'))))))

[@abby-dk2mq]

nope. It is impossible. Although technically too much of anything is bad for you. But i don't are when it comes to Mitch and Greg!!

[@abby-dk2mq]

+Science 03 care not are

[@courtneycrawford1998]

very true haha

[@margoeRocks66]

I agree!

[@saraelkhatab9275]

Oh thehun =D

[@shep689]

"feeling like a saint today" OMFG DEAD.

[@amelia-uq5hz]

"Feeling like a saint today" 😂😂

[@DragonKazooie89]

This kind of reminds me of how I feel growing up around Christmastime. When I was a kid, I was always excited about what I would get while as an adult, I'm more excited about what others get or someone's reaction to the gift I give them.

[@BinkieMcFartnuggets]

This is a really tough question to answer and the main reason 69ing was invented.

[@carlobauzon2020]

omg lmao

[@RaheemD]

All I got from this was mayonnaise and pizza and I'm confused and slightly disgusted

[@Brandyalla]

+Raheem D Same. That sounds so gross.

[@ambzz.bntjbl]

I think I've seen you on a deep web video by sog

[@my_cellium]

+Raheem D ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@oldschoolcatholic]

+Ali Bazzi what the..........

[@humanperson2775]

Yeah, who eats mayonnaise with their pizza? I eat my pizza with ranch dressing...

[@mingphas]

Whoever said money couldn't buy you happiness didn't know where to shop

[@isabokas6754]

Not true

[@finnyb3658]

True

[@pika6383]

+ordinarydannyboy actually money can't buy everyone happiness. Let's say that your life long partner died. You would only be happy if she was around again. But money can't buy back lives.

[@mingphas]

yeah thats true, but i was just quoting gossip girl..

[@pika6383]

ordinarydannyboy oh okay XD

[@marknava321]

"Feeling like a saint today" lol

[@RealationGames]

Survival of the species overrides survival of the fittest, thus our actions. I hate when some people think that evolutionary mechanisms are contradictory to our behaviour. They are not. If being selfish was more advantageous in the long run(let's say 5000 years), then we would be selfish, by definition. It's not as advantageous in the long run, thus we're not completely selfish.

[@T4terrible]

Receiving really hurts.

[@seanjinxm3648]

Ur doing it wrong

[@isabokas6754]

I agree (most of the time)

My college principal once told me this : for it is in giving that you get! This was in 2007, but I still remember that day categorically, and try to follow it in life

I think there a lot of people who lack these things... i have encountered a lot of self centered assholes recently

[@GR8119]

Thats it!!! You wanna war, Bry Anna???? Go to O Shack Hennesseys office with A Aron!!! You insubordinate, and chirlish!!

[@bry7487]

GR8119 Uh, what are you even talking about?

[@GR8119]

Bry Anna You must not be a Key and Peele fan, nevermind. Lol

[@bry7487]

GR8119 No, I'm not haha. I'm not even sure who they are.

[@GR8119]

Bry Anna KZbin "Key and Peele Substitute Teacher", and you'll get my joke. Basically its a teacher used to black names, and when he subtitutes at a white school and takes roll its HILARIOUS!!

[@ArielleDatnoff]

I love their acting!

[@Larkin0Happy0Soul]

+Arielle Datnoff Mayonnaise on pizza doesn't sound like it would be good. One of them said that while acting to order pizza lol. I agree, they look like they are having fun :).

[@ndroo1014]

It depends on how much you are appreciated for the things you give and WHY you are given the things you receive

[@nazsakar3411]

my first thought was giving heads lol

[@Cuteseal2]

Just subscribed today! I love the clean look to your videos and how you focus on content without needing music in the background :) looking forward to future videos

[@Skate4daizz]

I believe that selflessness is the quickest way to happiness!! So I say that giving IS better than receiving!

[@johnnychang4233]

I personally would come to the help of whoever is close and in need, what make me hesitate is the fact that it's seems totally strange to others the apparent no gain or profit nature of the deed. For example, in other countries the act of lend a hand to somebody who just felt down, it's seems as a common reaction, here in the states being a good samaritan could land you in legal troubles.

[@edrenzramos6803]

Acts 20:35-"There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.’”

[@lightningdreaming]

Interesting video I perform lots of acts of kindness every day, and I feel GREAT. I have more friends at school and enjoy things more. Of course, everyone still has life to deal with. But kindness does truly help make you feel happier so this is why you should stop harassing, stop selfishness and be cool 😎

[@angeladirecto5100]

This is my first to see the face of the narrator in asap vids. He has an amazing voice so clear like water.

[@LaleskaMichelle]

Although I do get super excited in Christmas, I enjoy better buying the gifts for my loving ones

[@XoAlmostThereoX]

My old school did this challenge a few years back and won a ton of money!

[@shiminshamim8359]

That moment when you get happy realizing you have a chance to meet your favourite youtubers but it's only for Canada 😭😭😭😭 Greg, Mitch! you have fans in London too when are you gonna come here???

[@thedayinalifeof...5102]

Also in Australia

[@shiminshamim8359]

***** I'm extremely happy for anyone who get to meet their favourites! But I have no other option other than going to vidcon to meet them and even that's in USA

[@shiminshamim8359]

***** no don't worry. It's fine. I'll be so pleased if your school gets chosen 😊 xx

[@chancegarratt-dahan5213]

I live in Canada yay

[@shiminshamim8359]

***** dude, the world knows Singapore exists, it's just not acknowledged for these tours and events.

[@voltaire3454]

I love recieviing KEEP IT COMING

[@sonofjesus1464]

If you do not give, you will never recieve

[@yolecake2922]

+David Shepler not true. Baby's basically do not give anything. They refugee toys. Theory disproven

[@anitejbanerjee2278]

at 1:58, what is the phenomenon they mentioned? I just couldn't make out! Also, I think something similar to that is vicarious ________. Vicarious happiness would be being happy by seeing others be happy, vicarious learning would be learning from watching others make mistakes/learn....

[@lydwynnah]

you guys make such meaningful videos!!! loved it!!!

[@stevehvak]

First time seeing Greg with and without glasses in the same video. I have to say, the glasses definitely boost his appearance :)

[@emericswitchyoureawesomean3658]

This was SO FUNNY! FUNNIER than a try not to laugh challenge!

Could you come to a school in England?????

[@michaelstrantzalis]

thats why you should give us more vloooogs :( keep up the good work :)

[@SandraMuniePor]

I like shopping for others and giving gifts. Also giving people money when they are short...or when they can't get lunch....or if they are trying to go on a date... I'm starting to see why my friends are starting to watch who I'm giving money to...

[@daniaparra1967]

This video was the best! Keep it up guys! 👍🏻

[@patrickbuchanan2042]

Dang why do most of my favorite KZbinrs live in Canada

[@aa-bm7bs]

For some reason I can't grasp the idea of animosity or empathy. The only time I really help others is if it will help me in the long run, or I am being forced to, and will receive consequences for not. I am unaffected by helping or hurting others, including people I care about. Am I weird?

[@luisguardia5978]

Aidan A. So basically sociopath

[@gageweston3824]

I believe in giving to those who need it. It often makes me feel good too, but sometimes it's hard to see when it really benefits anyone at all. For example, I feel like I help out everyday by putting the dishes away and cleaning the house a little when it gets dirty. But then I think of how this may actually be making things worse and causing me to have to do this even more because now the people who aren't picking up their own trash or doing their own dishes are more likely to not do it again because they know that I will do this anyway. Then I think of the longterm effects. The could actually hurt the people I am trying to help out because say, when my brother, who is really sloppy, starts living on his own, he will be so used to others picking up for himself, that a sudden change from people helping him to no help at all could actually cripple him a little in terms of staying tidy and organized. This doesn't just apply to picking up after others, it applies to most things in life. If you give everything someone could ever want for one time, then they are not prepared to work for themselves when they need to. So I get what you're saying about it making yo feel good to help others, but I think it does not always help to just give. You can give a man a fish and feed him for a day, or you can teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. I think the greatest gift is not handing people what they want, it is teaching them how to get it themselves and not need to be given that thing. The more often you need something right now and you get that thing, the more you will be dependent on it in the future.

[@hellokitty0256]

I know the 5 acts of kindness challenge. It was for a girl named Rachel. She died in the worst school shooting in America, Columbine High School. It was really sad so my school decided to do the challenge.

[@francescaclara8225]

Always thought giving was better than receiving, thanks for explaining that it is, in fact, true :D

[@Roromae2015]

I rescued a lost car the other day a little boy greeted me and hugged the cat tight. I felt so good about myself that day.

[@ezegolder5272]

I think that, more than what they say in the video, i like to help and give because If i where the one i help i would be happy with some help, and because helping could impossibilitate some suffering to happen, AND ( one more) It could bring more happines to the world( and the person).

[@aleagostini]

Giving gives more pleasure!

[@chowdasoup]

Just watching this made me happy and smile 😊😊😊💕💕💕

[@SirEvilestDeath]

Everyone give me stuff so I am receiving stuff. I can prove that both are equally as rewarding for me.

[@alecrisser12]

My altruistic behaviors are more based on empathy than feeling good about having helped someone. I would like it if someone helped me in that situation, and that's enough reason for me to help them. It's interesting to think that we use our selfishness to our advantage to preform altruistic behaviors through empathy.

Are we going to ignore the fact that someone wanted mayo on their pizza.....

[@spacedcupcake]

I study Biology in a Uni in Norway. We are reading "The Selfish Gene" right now, and I actually understand what you are talking about! Could you make a video about that book ? :)

[@eric95209]

I do both. I give myself a gift and I receive the gift at the same time.

[@BBalloon]

3:00 not true. I was part of this experiment and i found that students (me and some friends) just said we were happy to perform random acts of kindness, even though it may not have been true. Since it would be weird to say no, i feel indifference or " man, i wish i still had that 5$ i gave to some random guy on the street to buy pizza".

[@caitlynxcx1117]

I love how excited I get for the event/ prizes they are giving out.... then I realize the video was released a year and a half ago lol

[@cloud819]

We are a pack animal and as such have instinctual tendencies to help other people, especially when we can consider them our pack. We have drive to want to help people that have not hurt us (or belong to a pack that has hurt us). Not having these instincts is a sign of a warped mind. A lone human is not a healthy creature or one with a realistic likelihood of survival in the wild. We are best together.

I'm kind of curious to what goes on in people's brains if they do bad deeds instead of good ones. What kinds of bad deeds? Stealing, assaulting, I'd make a list, but I wouldn't want to kill the mood.

[@drakeveinton2248]

I feel like it depends onwhat is being given or taken personally. If it was something like love I feel like it is both rather than just one but obviously it's just my opinion

[@drakeveinton2248]

Also if I'm in a happy mood and help someone else out that is a stranger I feel like when they don't even say thanks it ruins my mood
