I have gift giving blocked from everyone.
My stance on gift giving (and most holiday festivals) can be best summed up by Dr Sheldon Cooper:
youtube.com/watch?v=38x6kWB-xD4Sooo...you best relate to a char with low end autism and mommy issues?
I think you missed the point of people giving you a gift. And receiving them, to a certain extent.
Probably because I
HAVE low end autism myself?
I guess my outlook is a result of environment... My family doesn't go in for gifts, holidays, showing affection, or even spending time with each other.
Also, I hate the false social niceties and so-called holidays that have lost their meaning and become commercialised...
But mostly, I'm just too proud to accept handouts. (Must be a latent masculine trait...)
Sure you do, buddy.
wink Just like everyone else with social interaction issues.
But the topic is not about umbrella diagnosis from the armchair or a slacker doctor.
If you hate the commercialism of it, fine, then make it something meaning to you, not brush it all under the rug.

But the topic is not about your personal disenfranchisement and tight pockets.
It's about being anon gifted, and the possible ensuing complaints and lack of thanks given. And since you have it turned off, you opinion seems to be the 'head in the sand' approach. Which is your call.
