You need other people to fill your bucket and other people need you to fill their buckets.
You fill a bucket when you say something nice to someone, do something kind, and even when you smile. This is called being a “bucket filler”.You can also “dip” into a bucket and take out someone’s good feelings by doing and saying mean, hurtful, things. This is called being a “bucket dipper”.You can never fill your own bucket by dipping into someone else’s.
