Why is it that when I give family gifts and stuff they dont reply or anything?

I'm socially inept

I'll start keeping my things to myself.

I figure we are family I buy quality things and have much to share.

I sent my cousin a care package. Things with Macy outfits. She never got back to me that she recieved them or how they fit or anything.

I help out distant family members and they never say shit unless I reach out if they got my package like a care package.

It seems like every one never tells me they got the things I've sent.

Which means it's not wanted right? Or the things I send arnt good enough?

Even gonna give my brother a $100 gift card for his birthday to anywhere he choose.

He ignored my text and just looked at my social media stories a few hours after

I dont know what's going on. I try to be supportive. I dont understand

People suck. All of these people could at least take the time to say thank you.


That said I say keep your giving spirit. You sound like a lovely and generous soul. Don’t loose that. Just expect more of the same.


I like to be generous too, but I’ve found people rarely even take the time to say thanks. That’s fine though. I enjoy being generous whether they acknowledge it or not.

Lately... honestly I've been wanting to match energies with most people. Stay beautiful and giving to my unborn child and match everyone else because I've been giving all my life and given back so little love. Its sad

Unfortunately humans are rather self centered and selfish. Years ago a thank you call or card was expected. Now your lucky if they even remember you gave it to them.

There are two possibilities her. the first being that they are simple rude as I have two first cousins like that... me myself and I types.

The second possibility is that you are too giving. Sometimes people like this make others uncomfortable. We begin to feel like we owe you something all the time. We avoid you. We do not respond so that you will get the hint and stop.

I don't know that's sad I'm too giving. I can see that being but like my little brother I haven't had much to give him kn the past 10 years. He lost his dad. My step dad. I feel. Bad for him

Perhaps you are overdoing it, and sending them gifts when its not necessary.
