Giving and recieving gifts

I have a problem giving and recieving gifts, it just doesnt feel like a normal thing to do. I feel like i have to act or be a certain way or im obligated to do something. Its difficult to process it, anyone else have similiar issue

  • I found that with these sorts of confusing situations it is best to look at the underlying reasoning for it and what the expectations are. Once you know the info will stay with you for life so you can them make an informed decision each time rather than struggle.

    There is a good explanation and guide here:

    Having the logic explained does help it become much more obvious as to how to react too, although you don't have to do exactly as they recommend. You can do what you want obviously but now you can see what is happening with the whole process and can react accordingly.
