People give favours to show they care, but sometimes it can feel like a game. Imagine you help your friend with their homework, that’s a favour. Later, when they offer to walk your dog, that’s reciprocation. It helps people stay close and feel connected.
Examples
- Your friend helps you with your math test, and later you help them fix their bike.
- You give your mom a gift for her birthday, so she gives you extra dessert on Sunday.
- Your neighbor lets you borrow their lawn mower, and then you water their plants.
