Check your circle of friends,your network normally determine your networth. If your circle of friends are those wretched individuals then what would you expect them to give you?

Is it normal that no one has ever gifted me anything on special occasions? I'm talking about Valentine, birthday and Christmas. I am 29, and since I became anything close to an adult, I've never had anyone care for me enough to show me love on these special days. Not from family, not from friends.

I am currently not dating and things are really rough for me right now, but I've gifted people in the past. I know some members here will say I'm feeling entitled to the outcome of other people's efforts, but that's really not the point. I just want to experience love and feel loved no matter how small. I can't ask for much.

Having people gift you things is a big flex. I'm not even talking about people coming through for one when one needs help because that one na long story.

So, guys, is this normal? Is it very much normal that feel unloved over this? I'm really over thinking it for sure, but I can't help it.
You already have the gift of life from God almighty.

Don't feel too bad about this. Many folks are in your shoes. Maybe its part of life. Lets hope when you get into a romantic relationship, you will get gifts.
I have received personal gifts from people sparingly as well but I know I have gifted far much more.
Even things like getting people to help with small small things are sometimes hard to get meanwhile, we dedicate ourselves to helping many people in our circle. Its part of life. As long as you see the hand of God upon your life, nothing much to worry about. Cheers.

If you notice this pattern in your life then you can break it by being a giver. If you don't have money to give you can give others through teaching, mentorship, or the most powerful which is intercessory prayers through the help of the Holy Spirit. Give words of encouragement to people even if they don't ask for it you will see people will also give you.
Like 6 vs 8 says Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Story. Just because you haven't received anything from your women doesn't mean others have. Many men receive help and support from ladies even in Africa. These men are sweet-tongued men who can meet a lady who loves them and she loans them money to start business or supports him till he gets a job etc. Some men are just charming and they know what to tell women to make them part with their money happily.

I have received gifts from family, but not from friends because I don't maintain friendship. One silent act no one talks about is the habit of gifting those who don't need it or already have.

I bet you're still broke and it's the reason no one is gifting you. If you become rich today, you will see so many 'eye service' people queuing up to present you a gift that you don't need.


Hmmmm....
True.

Some people are in your shoes too, no matter how well you give out or render assistance, quite difficult to get a reciprocal treatment.
Just accept your fate and hope in God Almighty alone, that will reduce disappointments.

It's normal. The circle of friends you keep is a major factor and also the economic situation of the country is another factor. Stay contended with what you have.

People gifted not because they Loved you, they gifted you because 98% amongst them want something in return. Work hard place yourself in a position where you give people endless hope...Gbam! See both your friends and enemies start puring out wanted and unwanted gifts on your laps.

Expect nothing from anyone and you will never be disappointed!
Rather expect more from yourself!
You will never go far in life with a takers mentality...rather try to turn the tables around and give what you have or can afford to the needy!
The happiness and joy in the faces of those that you give will give you a sense of fulfillment!

I don’t think it’s normal, esp when friends, family n girlfriends haven’t. But i had a friend I met in one professional school like that, people always complain about his stinginess and how he doesn’t get deep with people. Like in the school, those that share hostel with him will tell you not to near his things.

U can’t borrow his gas, take out of his bread n even a single matches he won’t give you. He will always tell them he got his from his sweat so go get yours.

So when we somehow became close we discuss about it n he said his reason is he has never been helped in his life, he said whatever he couldn’t do on his own remains undone. So now that he is an adult he is already used to it, even if two of you are doing a work together he will ensure he find a way to divide the job so that he won’t do more than you.

I just told him it’s difficult to live life like that cox I don’t think we can go far in life without getting help when we needed one, I don’t think our effort only can take us far in life.

It's kind of normal. First time that I received was from a girl crushing on me in secondary school. Then my babe and a few other female friends. Never been gifted by a guy which is normal. I think here guys don't get shown love that way. It's more of an act of service thing

This is Nigeria, men hardly receive gifts from anyone, including their partners

Only women and children get gifts regularly in Nigeria
