The psychology of gift giving 

I'd rather be treated right than be given a gift. Gift giving can also be a way to buy someone. I've experienced this unfortunately.

I feel happier when I give gifts than get ones

Thank you. I was thinking of giving a book that I personally owned and was wondering if the receiver would like it. But since you said the receiver enjoys gifts that reflect the giver, I think I'll go with my gift idea.

Ugh.... hate receiving gifts. In fact limit things coming in to my home period, no free stuff, etc... Intent was good, but how i received it was hurt. Says, I know you dont like gifts, but this is a big birthday and proceeds to give me a kitchen appliance I wont use. What I heard, I know you don't like getting gifts, but it was important for me to feel good so I'm ignoring your wishes.

I like what she says, but…it’s hard to hear what she’s saying with the bells loudly clanging…

If one gives the gifts they received to others , is that morally wrong and distasteful?

I think gift giving is rather selfish and usually is just to make the giver feel good.

Oh I fucked up💀
