Every time I have a birthday I am terribly worried about receiving some gift that I won&#x27;t like from people who don&#x27;t know me good enough but want to give me some present. Receiving a gift that I don&#x27;t like and having to avoid showing that I don&#x27;t really like it is worse than receiving nothing. In fact I have enough money to buy anything I want myself, so there is really nothing I would like to receive as a gift.
