Matchers strive to find equilibrium in their interactions from "summary" of Give and Take by Adam Grant

Matchers are those who aim to maintain a balance in their relationships by giving as much as they receive. They are the individuals who seek to create a sense of fairness in their interactions, ensuring that their contributions are reciprocated. This desire for equilibrium drives matchers to carefully monitor the give-and-take dynamics in their relationships, making sure that they are not being taken advantage of or taken for granted. In their quest for balance, matchers often engage in a form of reciprocity that is based on the principle of fairness. They are not motivated by self-interest or the desire for personal gain, but rather by a genuine desire to create mutually beneficial relationships. This approach allows matchers to build trust and rapport with others, as they are perceived as reliable and trustworthy individuals who can be counted on to reciprocate acts of kindness and generosity. However, the quest for equilibrium can sometimes lead matchers to become overly focused on maintaining a sense of fairness, which can hinder their ability to form deep and meaningful connections with others. By constantly keeping score of who has given more or less in a relationship, matchers may miss out on the opportunity to form genuine connections based on trust, empathy, and mutual respect. In their efforts to find balance, matchers must learn to strike a healthy equilibrium between giving and receiving. This requires them to be mindful of their own needs and boundaries, while also being open to the possibility of receiving help and support from others. By finding this balance, matchers can create more fulfilling and harmonious relationships that are based on mutual respect and understanding.
