gifts

gifts are actually important right?

like everyone feels happy when they receive one on a special day or even for a normal occasion. but what if u are the only one that is giving and not the other party?

am i obliged to feel upset about it? i think i do have the rights to feel pretty upset about it. but the thing is, if forcing someone to buy a gift for you is also wrong and it loses the whole dam meaning of it.

buying a gift is to show that u made an effort to think what the other party likes and also that to show you want the person to be happy.

so does it also means that if the other party does not buy anything for you or does not make anything for you means the other party does not love or care for you? some may argue that gifts arn't everything.

i am going to google about it since google is practically my own bible.
like should i be upset when the other party worries about what to get for other people but does not buy anything for you? of course on special occasions la. but it hurts to not receive anything because you expect right.

but why is it that people never learn to not expect anything from others but must expect alot from oneself?
it hurts right? is expecting gifts to be materialistic? but how do i phrase it in a nicer form?

maybe i should consult sx since he is always the one that tells me what is the norm and i shld accept it. because come on what do u expect right?

if he says its the norm then i shall accept it and actually be less sad about it since in general people are like that. so those extra nice people would be easily identified.

btw, i am still pretty upset. ='(
