Then tell them you won’t buy anything

I am not a materialistic person, I think gifts show people that you’re thinking about them: i even think someone giving me a candy bar is a gift. But me pouring my heart and money into trying to make my family feel special just to suddenly get nothing back feels so shitty especially when they EXPECT it from me

give up on them as they have on you. no need to pour your heart out for those who dont reciprocate. you can be nice, but simply give only the same energy back

Just because they expect something from you doesn’t mean you have to make it happen
