things that make me feel really awkward
- being on the receiving end of gifts (“uh…so this is probably too girly for you and you won’t even like it. um, but here’s this shell necklace thing I got in Bali…I don’t know, is it okay? you can have it if you want. yeah, so, happy birthday?” - actual quote)
- being on the giving end of gifts (oh hey, here’s an impersonal gift I grabbed at the last minute because I couldn’t think of anything really unique for you because I’m lazy and leave my creative ideas till the last minute and so they never come together. you can totally return it if you want. I taped a few Lindt truffles to the card so at least there’s that.)
- gift-giving in general
