Venting

[(Anonymous)]

For the small or big annoyances.

Re: Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Made my friend an advent calendar. I spent a lot of time, effort and yes, also money on it and with the exception of one thing, they haven't reacted to any of the gifts so far. I know they're a bit stressed and all but still, it kinda stings.

Re: Venting

[(Anonymous)]

This may not help, but over the years I had to realize that even though gift giving is my love language, receiving gifts isn’t necessarily the love language of my friends. I still love giving gifts, but sometimes I get more out of it than they do.

Re: Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. Gift giving is also that friend's love language but they're not very great at receiving them. I'm not even mad about it, just a bit disappointed that there is barely any reaction.

Re: Venting

You *made* an advent calendar? I wasn't aware that was something a person could do! That's really cool of you.

And also I'd be the worst friend because I have an advent calendar at home filled with my favorite chocolate and I've only opened it twice so far. On the 7th and then the 9th so so I kind of binged chocolate for a day there. Some of us just kinda suck, sorry <3

Re: Venting

I'm sorry nonny. I've definitely been there before, especially as someone who enjoys giving others gifts. It's completely possible they've had a lot on their plate so they haven't been able to really express their gratitude.
It's really sweet of you to make an advent calendar. So thoughtful and sounds so fun!

I've stepped back from asking people what they think of a gift. Also stopped feeling anticipation when finding or handing a gift to someone. I can't handle feeling dejected anymore, so I've learned to feel happy I found a gift and wish the gift a happy life, and then let go of any emotional attachment I have to the gift (no more thinking "will they gidt receiver like it?" allowed).

Re: Venting

I always find this interesting. People seem to get really emotional about gift giving expectations. If I spend a lot of time making something it isn't with the price of praise or something and I don't get bent about it if someone doesn't appreciate it "enough."

Though I do absolutely understand getting kind of weird about zero response, which it sounds like is what you are getting. I just want to know what you think, good or bad. Or even that you got it, if sent in the mail or dropped off etc.

I'm sorry anon. Maybe you could drop a note amd just ask if they are enjoying the calendar?

Re: Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it's not really about getting gratitude or appreciation and more like it's weird that she doesn't mention it at all. I think I'll nudge her by asking which of the things she got so far because I didn't write down what I put in for which day so I don't accidentally spoil the surprise. Which is actually true.
