I REALLY NEED OTHER PEOPLES OPINION ON THIS. PLEASE REPLY

[mymoona]

I know its lengthy but please read it and share your opinion. Please :(

My birthday was on 10th january . So i asked my 3 closest friends to meet me at a restaurant today and treated them. 2 of them gave me gifts but one did not. I have been friends with her for 6 years. I have always given her gifts on her birthday except for this year. We also have a mutual friend whose birthday is 10 days earlier than mine, and she always gave her something for her birthday. She always gives gifts to other people on their birthday but never gave me one on mine.
We also did a Secret Santa today and she got N. At first she gave N a gift. Then she brought another one for her. She told her mom that we met today because today was Ns birthday. Heres the big catch, she was the first one to wish me on my birthday.
I just want to know why did she not give me anything today. Would it be too weird and clingy to ask her that?

I wouldnt ask her that but its definitely weird she didnt give you a gift.

[georgia (gnr’s version) (semi hiatus) 💐]

if definitely ask her that. and i’d point the fact out that you always buy her gifts. i don’t think you’d be too clingy to ask that, it’s a genuine question. if she doesn’t give you an explanation or if you don’t wanna ask don’t buy her anything for her next birthday and continue doing the same thing for christmas’ and birthdays in the future if she doesn’t gift give to you. 🫂

Thanks for the advice.

I never ask people why they didn’t buy me presents. I think it’s because in the past I never had much money and I know what it’s like wanting to buy a friend/family a present but not been able to afford it. I don’t ask incase they are also unable to afford a present for me and then I look bad and they feel sad that they didn’t buy me a present and that they can’t afford to get me on either. Not saying this is what happened with your friend but anything could have happened

My friend is very rich. As i said, she gave N 2 gift and those were quiet expensive. though her being rich does not really matter. If she had given me a tissue paper, I would have gladly accepted it.

OK, so i finally decided to ask her. I started the conversation by saying "Why do you never give me any gift?" she replied that she never gives anyone anything for their birthday because she can never decide what to give, she only gives gift to K(whose bd is 10 days earlier than mine)and asked me if I was hurt because she did not give me anything. I replied affirmatively. then she said that she was happy that i confronted her and sorry for hurting my feelings.
Although am highly embarrassed by it I am still glad that I told her.

i’m glad it turned out ok !! <3

that's real because I never know what to give people either. I feel like everyone just gives candy and that's a terrible gift.

[ella]

were you actually hurt by not receiving a gift or were you just confused by it ?

Mainly confused but also a little hurt because I always talk about how much I love gifts. Receiving gifts just makes me feel a bit special and loved. It does not have to be anything expensive or flashy just something that shows that they love me.

One of them actually gave me a chocolate(also earrings) and it tasted and smelled like sh*t😭😭 non of us could eat it. Though I was happy to that she gave it to me.

I’ve been in an almost identical situation. It’s really confusing and like what the heck but I honestly wouldn’t think to much into it. I wouldn’t ask at all though even if it might’ve hurt. Maybe look into other things they might be doing to get a sign that they’re being weird.
