It's my 22 birthday today and I'm still in my bed dreading going downstairs, from as young as I can remember I've always hated opening presents in front of other people and its only gotten worse with age
I hate being the centre of attention but mostly I hate the gift giver looking for my reaction, even if I'm receiving a gift I like I feel so uncomfortabke and awkward that I come across as completely insencere so I overcompensate and i think it comes across as really bad acting, then I feel bad and the person who bought me it feels bad and the whole thing is awkward and horrible even though it's just me and my family, iin? Anyone else get this way?

    You could just open it without any expression on your face then casually toss it in the trash.

    Unless they give you something horrendous that you would prefer to exchange I would advise you to just smile and say thank you.

    Perhaps if you kept in mind that it's the thought that counts, it wouldn't matter what's in the package. Smile and be happy someone cared enough to buy you something.

        Have I really attacked X-Mas? I don't remember that? christians, sure, but Christmas?
        I enjoy X-Mas as a time of year to be with family and friends. Hell, I even enjoy the silly ass music.
        I just don't believe in the religious bullshit, but as we say in the islands, "Any excuse for a party...."

          I see you're trying to be cool by saying x-mas but you apparently don't realize that writing xmas is actually a very old style (1600's?) and takes nothing away from the Christ part...x=chi, you know. Old timers used abbreviations too. It's in no way a new fangled secular plot to remove Christ from Christmas like so many fools believe. Fuckin fanatics.

            Wow, cool? Cool.
            Actually, Mr fucking know it all, I was being shit ass lazy, not trying to be cool.
            So, once again, you've got it wrong about me. Why not give it a fucking break and go back to playing in the sandbox with the other kiddies. You sure as shit ain't contributing anything worthwhile to this thread.

      Nope, i'd rather that, at least then I can buy myself something nice and relax, I'd genuinely be fine with a smile and a hug and a happy birthday, and I'm not just saying that to prove a point,
