heres a friendly reminder:
if you get something for someone that they never even wished for and they never put use to it for whatever reason, dont nag them about it, dont make them feel bad about it, dont mention it if your purpose is to let them know youre disappointed. they never asked for it, so even though you gifted them with love, you cant expect them to like it or have a reason to use it.
just needed to say this BECAUSE
for my birthday two years ago my brother gave me a speaker, even though i expressed multiple times that i dont want a speaker and have no use for it. he likes to play his music out loud and thought i needed a speaker so i could do the same. i absolutely hate when people can hear my music or whatever, so i have no reason to want a speaker. he knew this and still gave me a speaker. i never use it. and every so often the topic of that damn speaker will come up and hes like "you never even use it, i might as well take it back" and blaming me for never using it and acts all offended ??
AND
some years ago my mom got me some hand knitted socks and theyre pretty neat but they look EXACTLY like the socks my ex used to wear all the time and he traumatized the shit out of me. i cant look at those sock without thinking of my ex, so theyre hidden in the very back of my closet. recently my mom was like "you never wear those socks i once gave you : (" and i had to pretend i forgot about them and said i would wear them soon but i really dont want to.
just like please dont be like this ok its not to be ungrateful but sometimes its like that ok goodbye
