I have just ordered a book by Robert D. Lupton called ‘Toxic Charity’.

In doing a bit of research, I found the below graphic based on the book.
Always remembering that research is not my forte, as I like to go full blown ‘dunning kruger’ when I can get away with it.

The strange part about ‘toxic charity’ is I have experienced it.

Particularly at the ‘expectation’ and ‘entitlement’ phases. I can attest, that it makes you feel a bit sad, even jaded, that suddenly appreciation has turned to expectation and entitlement.

Then I feel like the ‘baddie’ when I say no….?

Anyway just a little whinge. Let you know more when I’ve read the book.

(Plus, I have to do a post on ‘dunning kruger syndrome’ – because once you know about it, you can never un-know it: it is a greater plague that COVID19!!!!!)
