Well, though one could say I technically like receiving more (who doesn't), if I had to choose, I'd rather give than receive, because I'm not "sucked in" to my own feelings, if that makes sense. It should be noted that I am diagnosed anhedonic and this is cited here as sometimes it's hard to "feel" something I receive. Compared to someone else getting something because of me and me being able to think "I did it" as they express joy. If only people didn't consider me selfish because this translates to them as a "flex" mindset.
