WTF?

[xitalicax]

Why is it that I'll send a complete stranger a gift on a whim but feel that it's annoying to remember this type of thing when it's appropriate to people I actually know?

What
the
Fuck?

Sometimes when we care, or when we know a person too well, it becomes more awkward or more difficult.

Good call.

There's definitely more pressure when you know someone well. Especially if that someone is really good at giving gifts.

That, and just the fact that when you're close to someone, the standards of how to treat them just go through the roof, and you're like a deer in headlights. Or, in another case, you're afraid of caring too much.

You'd think those 2 things would be mutually exclusive... you'd be wrong... heh.

I didn't say that :) it could be one or both. Feelings have a way of complicating themselves.
