Gift giving.

There is an art to gift giving, as well as receiving a gift. Often I enjoy giving small gifts to those close to me, and even sometimes strangers. There is nothing attached to the gift, nothing is expected in return. Every once in awhile though, the gesture is taken out of context. Has gift giving become something that is lost in translation?

sometimes the gesture is given DESPITE context. a girl I was hung up on used to give me gifts so I would have a hard time rejecting her invites (which I did so I could get over my feelings for her). her gift giving doesn't exist in a void, in this case it was manipulation to feed her starved ego.

Well that’s too bad you experienced that, hopefully any future gifts that are given to you are without any negative attachments. Or maybe your perspective will alter one day, once the smoke has cleared. Best of luck

You mean stuff you've decided you don't need that you want to fob off on your "friends" who don't want or need your excess stuff?

Was it romantic? Flowers are romantic. What was misunderstood and how?
