I used to be like that when I was little. Every had strings attached in that house.
Later in life, I was like present and gifts ARE NO STRINGS ATTACHED. If someone does that they are doing it wrong. And if someone if giving a gift with hidden strings attached, that’s not my problem, “you gave me this a gift, not as an exchange”, they can stop gifting me stuff if they don’t like that haha.
And if you want an exchange, its fine, be clear and we can negociate.
I get that, some people think they have to be paid in some way if they give a gift
