That saying the road to hell is paved with good intentions was probably invented by an Acts of Service person. Be careful not to make promises that you can’t keep with this person. If you say you are making dinner and then you get waylaid at work. You best order dinner because this person is relying on you to carry out your promise. Another one to avoid is the fake act of service. Suggest something but then have them do the behind the scenes work. I’ll pick up dinner but can you find a place that is vegan, gluten free and paleo friendly. Volunteering to babysit but asking them to drop off the kids across town where the drive time eats up most of the time. Perhaps you’re generally so disorganized about meeting times and places that the Acts of Service person in your life spends all their mental energy exhausted preparing for all the possible outcomes and scenarios. I’m an Acts of Service person. I basically make a list in my head every time someone says they will do something and hold my breath until they do.
