In this brief conversational segment, Paridhi Dhingra and three other speakers discuss the age‑old question of whether it is preferable to love more than one is loved, or to be loved more than one loves. The participants each share what they would advise their (hypothetical) children: Speaker A suggests being the one who gets loved more; Speaker B argues for loving more, emphasizing giving over receiving; Paridhi Dhingra adds a third perspective, urging clarity about one’s role in a relationship—whether you are the lover or the one who adjusts—while rejecting any shame about either stance. The dialogue highlights the tension between giving and receiving love, the importance of self‑knowledge in relationships, and the acceptance that both approaches can be valid.

And I would always be the one who loved more, though if I had to tell my children, I would say be the one who gets loved more. Wow.
The question was— I wouldn't say to my children that be the person who gets loved more. I would still say to my children, if I had children, be the person who loves more, because I believe in giving than receiving.
I would say to my
children, be clear who you are. Whether the one you are loving or whether the one you are adjusting doesn't really matter. Both is okay. What I love about her is she's clear who she is. So I would say be clear who you are in the relationship and then don't feel apologetic or bad about it.
Exactly.
You know, like I don't feel bad about the fact that you love more and I adjust more.
You can say that you're more lovable, hence I love more.
That is true.
Shut up.
What I have to say? Everybody knows that.
