Is it normal i compulsively give gifts?

I like giving small gifts to almost everybody and anybody just to make them feel good. Esp if I see someone's having a bad day. Idk if its altruism or it it just makes me happy but I like giving people pleasant surprise. Like paying for someone's coffee or giving a gift card. Normal?

    I hate when people buy my coffee and the barista asks if I'd like to continue by doing the same. No, I don't. I don't even want the free one. Let me buy my drink and mind your own business.

    • I find it nice that the person before me paid for my coffee, however, that is quickly soured when they ask if I would like to pay for the person behind me. Especially when the person wants 12 fucking things

    I guess it's okay as long as you don't expect anything in return, and you don't go into debt.

    I have the same problem. I sometimes buy gifts for people, though, and then I feel weird about giving them away and embarrassed. I think it is nice. Want to be friends?

  • Hmm this made me reconsider. I will cut way down on this. No i dont expect anything and i certainly dont want the cashier to ask them to pay for the next person!

  • Normal, but keep in mind that not everyone likes to have things given to them. It personally makes me uncomfortable for various reasons.

    I enjoy doing things for others, but I'm careful to make sure that they actually want me to help them. I dislike pushy, nosy people.

    Emokate is on point, btw.

    paying 20k in taxes to redistribute my wealth didnt seem to make poor people happy just resentful and more hateful. So i won't be giving people gifts to make them feel better and it damn sure didnt make me feel better knowing i bought a stranger a new car. Because thats what i needed to spend the tax on.
