hate em ! hate mine, hate other people's ! like i desperately wanna get a nice gift for people especially my close friends, but i ? have limited theory of mind ? cannot possibly imagine what people might like and the pressure of having to guess and maybe guessing wrong and wasting your time/money/effort on smth they don't even want or won't use ? but apparently u can't just demand someone tell u exactly what they want bc they like to be ~surprised~? or rly don't care ? idkf allistics r wild 2 me
but then i also can't ever think of an appropriate gift in the appropriate budget ? like my best friend rly wants a race bike but i cannot afford 200+ euros for that but ? can i think of anything 30-50 euros for him ? Nope and his bday is tmrw ! fuck !Â
and gROUP GIFTS ? my roommates asked ME to come up w an idea for him ? and im so nervous they all think im an idiot or a shitty gift giver or clueless or whatever and idk im just stressed ? and nobody rly responded in the gc so idk they all must think it's stupid and nobody cares enough to offer an alternative suggestion ?
and idk it's just really stressful ! and then i end up not getting anyone a birthday present for anything ever bc the pressure is too much and im so afraid of fucking it up and then ! its like ? did i simply not want to do it bc i'm a bad person and don't care enough ? NO ! i ended up not doing it because i care TOO MUCH n the prospect of fucking it up somehow is paralyzing
anyway it's october/november so which 10-15 birthday gifts do you need to plan in the next month
