Planning my own celebration makes me feel worse.

No I don't get random gifts. I mostly get them from my mom and a couple of siblings. But it's never actually anything I'd actually use. But rarely get gifts from "ftiends" once in a while someone will surprise me randomly but it's rare.

I'm pretty obvious about things I like. I'm open about it on my social media and at my place things I like are everywhere. But they always get clothes in styles I've never worn (that they like) or gift cards to places I never go, or just things they bought just cause I talked about it once or candles and stuff like lavender bath sets lol. I hate lavender and don't like candles or bath sets as gifts. Haha.

They just don't bother knowing me at all. I'm pretty simple because I like very specific things. And then they wonder why I never use anything they give me.
