Honestly, I hate when I receive gifts. It's so awkward for me, like I can't fathom the love they're trying to show. I try but it's like I can't believe that there are no strings attached or they're just doing it out of expectation or to keep up appearances (birthdays, holidays). That and I don't like attention and focus on me, not in that way or almost anyway. I'm pretty awkward outside of my element (performing, lost in a project etc.).
However, I love giving presents and showing someone how much I care. It means the world to me. I also very much love making people laugh. If I can make people laugh, then it allows me to smile. If they smile, I can accept that I did something good. I gave a present to a close friend of mine the other day and I had never seen the guy so excited about something I thought was so small. I just smiled as he went nuts over it because it just felt good that I could do that for him.
