57 分钟Tiss the season of gift giving.
For some of us, this is a really exciting time of year.
It's the time of year where we get to go to the mall and pick out thoughtful gifts for our loved ones,
sit on the couch and scroll and scroll and scroll on our favorite retail websites until we find the perfect gifts for everyone on our list.
And for some of us,
this is a really stressful time of year because gift giving is not our love language.
I am one of those people.
In fact, it's the lowest on my list of love languages.
So the holidays roll around for me and I'm like, ah, I don't want to do it.
I don't know why gift giving causes me a lot of anxiety
because I want to get something for someone that they're going to use.
I really don't like wasting things.
I also don't want them to like open it and feel the pressure to like react a certain way in front of me.
I don't like receiving gifts because I don't really need anything and I don't want anything.
And I don't want to react in the wrong way and have them think that I didn't like their gift.
Like everything about it makes me anxious and nervous and uncomfortable.
But it is an inevitable part of the holidays for most of us
because most people expect to receive gifts.
So this year, I decided to make a long, long list of ideas, not just for you, but also for me.
because I need help too.
