Odets: "I receive badly"

Entry from Journal

January 17, 1940

Much of love for me is in giving. Unfortunately, I am not one of the receivers in life. I receive badly, restlessly, shamefully.

Who are the happier, do you think, receivers or givers of love?

Hey there. Now this is an example of one that ... I relate to. I am Odets. I receive badly. I'm a great giver - but a terrible receiver.

I love to give, though - I get a lot out of it. But I envy the people who can accept and receive with grace.

Not really an answer, but there you go.
