Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. When it comes to receiving gifts, some of us have never been lucky with that, and we have learned to live with that, knowing fully well it only happens on rare occasions, and expecting such to happen every now and then means looking forward to disappointments, and for that reason, every gift given to us is cherished forever, as you do not know when next you will be getting another one. Sometimes I tend to wonder how people who get gifted often do it, and I ask myself if it is because I have bad character or what exactly is the problem.
Every individual likes being gifted; even if they do not show how much they appreciate or love being gifted, it reminds you of how much you mean to the gifter or just reminds you that at least there is someone out there that cares and wants to, in their little way, make you happy. There is an inner joy that comes with being gifted; no matter how small the gift might be, it still gives you some sense of belonging, the feeling that you are loved in a way, and it always comes with inner joy or happiness. If you have received a gift before, you will understand better, especially if it is something you have always wanted; you just find yourself smiling every now and then.
One thing that makes people not appreciate a gift is entitlement; they feel the gifter is actually supposed to do more than they are doing and for that reason fail to appreciate the gifter's effort, which is absolutely wrong. I see no reason why anyone should not appreciate what is being given to them out of love; if you expect more from the person, you can talk it out later and not trash their effort for getting you whatever they got you like it is nothing.

No matter how small a gift is, it has to be appreciated; sometimes you don't even know what the gifter had to go through to get you that gift, and trashing their efforts is hurting their emotions, which is not a good way to go. Some people fell into depression because of how much effort they put in to get a gift for a loved one only for their gift to be treated like trash. Before you go about being ungrateful and unappreciative about a gift someone bought you, put yourself in their shoes.

My friend will say it is because you are uptight and like to be alone; that is why you don't get gifted often. Well, for us who hardly get gifts, every gift we get is treated well and very well appreciated, and since we hardly get gifted, we don't always look forward to one so as to avoid getting disappointed. My last birthday was when I got one of the best gifts I have ever received, a portrait from my brother and a friend. I have both hanging in my room, and whenever I look at them, I remember how they came about, and it gives me some kind of feeling.
Their is possibility of being gifted if you are not the type that give gifts. I believe if you give out more. You will definitely receive more😊
Note: all things being equal
Well, I do give out gifts to friends and family but I only get back once in a while.
I've always been lucky with receiving and giving gifts, it's always a way to put a smile on someone's face 😊
I am really happy for you my dear friend, I want to be like you..

I agree with your friend. I mean you don’t expect to get gifted when you are uptight right? Don’t come for me, this Adam.
