Do you feel bad when people give you gifts or offer to help you? I mean for things that aren't your Birthday/Christmas or something.
For me?

I like little gifts. Like, at Christmas, when a relative buys me shower gel. Or when my boyfriend buys me earrings.
I like giving little gifts too. Like, hey, I know you like this and it was cheap so I got it!
Bigger gifts can be awkward.
I only feel bad if it is something, like, VERY expensive. Otherwise I am usually grateful.
Sometimes even birthdays and Christmas. I just try to be polite and return the gesture or say thank you.Originally Posted by Pike

I really don't mind being given gifts. I appreciate them when it's on a special day, like my birthday, or Christmas. If I was randomly given a gift, I'd be surprise, and sometimes I wouldn't dare accept them. Like this one time at work, I didn't had enough money for a drink, and one of my co-workers offered to pay my drink, something like a gift I guess. I rejected the offer, but she still went through with it anyway. So, I guess I was thankful for the drink.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
I appreciate the thoughts behind gifts, and I understand that a lot of people enjoy giving them, but I really hate receiving them, including Christmas and birthday gifts. I don't want for a lot and the stuff that I do want is all material trout that doesn't actually matter, and I can get for myself at a later time if I still want it. I hate when people spend money on me alone, even though it has nothing to do with guilt. I just don't like it.
I get embarrassed receiving gifts, especially if more than one person is watching me open them.
Not really, but then, I guess if I did that would mean I feel guilty about anything. That doesn't really happen. I dislike receiving things from others outside of family members on pre-determined gift giving dates, but that's a combination of pride and not wanting to feel like I'm obligated to do something for them someday.
Nah, I like giving and receiving things. But honestly, I more like to give people stuff and watch them get all happy.
Signature by rubah. I think.
Same thing as Megan. I find it much more rewarding to surprise someone with a nice little gift of adoration!
I don't even react well to receiving gifts on special occasions. When it's for no reason I have an urge to go on a killing spree.
When I was very broke and needed desperately to see the doctor, my professor offered to pay for the doctor visit. I felt bad for accepting the money, but he insisted. I paid the money back not too long after anyway which he expected.
Pretty much the same.Not really, but then, I guess if I did that would mean I feel guilty about anything. That doesn't really happen.

When I was a little girl, every year at Christmas, I used to pick one of my stuffed toys and leave it out for Santa. I figure he gives everyone gifts, he should get something in return. I also used to buy little gifts to give to my friends at my birthday parties.
I feel like when people give me a gift, I should give one in return.
