I never got the feeling that they're ungrateful. I don't have a very strong relationship, nor do I plan to have one with those people. Also, I never invested money or time with those particular presents. I always gave them a present that I myself got earlier and wasn't attached to it.
But in spite of all that, I can't help but feel very awkward. Why is that?
I have a few book recommendations for you. The author in both cases is the late Dr. Wayne Dyer. He has a few shortcomings (especially in his later books) in that he sometimes delves into New-Age woo but IMO, his early books are very practical and useful. Look up:
Your Erroneous Zones
and
Pulling Your Own Strings
I believe you put a LOT of crap into your own mind and are self-poisoning to a large degree. I also think you have a major non-assertiveness problem. I think both of these books would help you.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
