giving but not getting?


Question Posted Monday January 21 2008, 6:57 pm

14/f * not using the actual names
so i gave 6 of my friends like 5 dollar gifts. I gave Meg, Jill, Molly, and Lauren
each a bracelet. I gave Brianna and Annie each a ring and Brianna a little bracelet i made. I thought they all liked them. Now 3 of them aren't really that close of friends w/ me i mean we've hung out a little. I didn't get any presents from them but they've been talking about what they are getting other people right in my face. They're a little late though since winter break is over.

Meg, who i'm closer friends with got me a pair of earrings so that made me happy.

I gave Brianna and Annie the rings and they seemed to like them. Brianna, the girl i gave the ring and homemade bracelet to sort of seemed dispointed I didn't get her one of the bracelets, but i thought the ring was better. Turned out that the ring rusted..because i have one of my own..so it's sort of crappy. IT did cost more than the bracelet and it said love. But after break she came back w/ one of the bracelets...so maybe she really wanted the bracelet.

anyway everyone is talking about what they are getting each other right in my face. They are even telling me what they got the other person. So i'm kind of mad. I mean i don't want their gifts, it's just they shouldn't say it right in my face.

I gave Annie who lives in a dif state the ring and a really long loving letter. Brianna went and visited her and Annie said she would send my present home with Brianna, but did she? NO!

So my question is..why are people saying this stuff in my face, and why aren't i recieving?

thanks i know it's long, but you wouldn't get it if i did a he said she said long message.

I know this is probably not the answer you want but, when you decide to give somemthing to someone, you should never expect to get something in return..

i mean the reason you give is out of the goodness of your heart..

some people will immediatly give a present back because they feel happy you got them something and want to give you something in return

while others are like "thanks..." and thats it

its just the nature of some people..
some are kinder and think about other while some only care for themselves

my advice would be to forget about it... i know you want something but unfortunatly you might not get it.. thats just how some people are

im sorry. but if you ever gave me something (1, i would be iving it to you first and 2, i would get you something the next day) :)

people just don't have that much of common sense to realize this..
