 You're too critical
When someone gives you a present or pays you a compliment, the first thing that comes into your head is: "Why are they really doing this?" In fact, you often end up racking your brains for the giver's real intentions. What are they hoping to get out of you in the future? Or are they clearing their conscience for something they may have done in the past? Sometimes you even criticise the quality of the gift they have given you, it seems that you often get the wrong idea of people. You make fun of their bad taste, or the amount of money they have spent on you, or even how long they must have spent choosing it. It's a shame that you are so bitter towards others who are merely trying to express their affection for you. You definately need to ask yourself some questions about why you leap to conclusions when others are being warm and loving. Is it a reflection of how you see yourself? Does it reassure you of your own qualities to always think the worst of people? Work things through in your head, because your attitude prevents you from accpeting gifts graciously and could end up costing you friends.
