I know I am. That's why I virtually never buy anything for myself. I find it almost impossible, even when I actually need something, to find something that I like. So needing new trainers for instance will usually take me several shopping efforts, with me getting increasingly stressed, wishing that my shoes would just last for ever, and eventually buying something in a blind panic that I hate and doesn't fit properly.
If I never had to have something new again I'd be happy.
But people seem to think it's some kind of philosophical standpoint, rather than just ineptitude on my part. So they want to treat me, tell me I deserve stuff. Which I don't.
And then moan that they don't know what to get me. I accept that saying that I don't want anything sounds like I don't mean it, and people want me to be part of christmas proceedings. And that's fine I don't want to make anyone feel uncomfy, but I really really don't want anything. The only thing that's really a treat for me is chocolate, but I'm too fat anyway, and because I don't eat it any other time I have no self-control, scoff the lot and feel very ill. So that's not great.
A friend asked what she could get me, and I realised that I'd had problems with my tape measure getting stuck that morning. So in an enlightened moment, I asked if she'd get me a new one. And she just said that's no kind of present, and said she'd keep looking. So when I do ask for something she ignores me anyway.
If I'm so hard to buy for, then just don't buy for me. Is that so unreasonable?
