I hated receiving gifs when I was broke/poor with passion.

It basically works like this:

1. I receive a gift of 50$ usually spent very sub-optimally.

2. Now I have to spend ~50$ buying a gift in turn.

The end result: someone buying me gift for 50$ is equivalent to forcing a bad 50$ purchase upon me OR forcing me to feel bad and potentially be perceived as ungrateful/unreciprocating.
