That's the only reason why anyone does nice things. No one is truly altruistic, everything gets something from it, even if just the self-satisfaction of gift giving. I gave my brothers pajama pants and chocolate even though they aren't giving me shit because it makes me feel morally superior to be the one that has their shit together and can give gifts. Gift giving is a social shit show, who cares

I only bought gifts out of obligation and the repercussions of not doing it. Although to be fair, I didn't get myself any gifts either.

Wish I was in your shoes desu senpai.

>I only act nice for social reasons

Congratulations you are a normie

buying presents for my family is so depressing because I realize how little I know about them

I imagine they have the same problem when they buy me gifts, however

I don't actually act nice though

the biggest difference between robots and normies, imo, is at least we realize we are pieces of shit

same here. My parents hate each other and they fight constantly. I have no relationship with my little sister either. Being around my family is really depressing because it makes me realize how fucked up we are and how much I missed out on. Can't wait for Christmas to be over.

I don't know, I like giving my immediate family gifts, I'm just always ashamed I feel like I have to ask for ideas. I really hate wrapping them though.
