yesterday... amongst my friends....

Gifts - Exchanging gifts on occasions like new year and christmas is all around the world. Gifts make people happy to receive and of course giving is the feeling of a blessing.

Yesterday, my friends and I went picnic and at the moment a girl was delivering gifts to others. I suddenly receives a call and went away for a while. Well, she actually did give everyone except me. I was feeling a bit left out at the moment thinking that i should or should not tell her. One hour later I told myself "Never minds... its just a gift". A minute later she appear in front of me and i asked her. "where is my gift?" in a joking way. I guess i couldn't hold myself. She replied "Oh... Didn't you received?" I replied "Nope... maybe you forgot..." To my surprise she replied "woah..ok, you dare to ask for your gift?" Whats was the reply to you? Does it seems like an insult? I shouldn't have ask for the gift right?

This is a tough one to answer because I'm not really sure of how close you are to the girl. I probably would have never mentioned it and just let it slide. Hopefully she had just made a mistake and she didn't do this to intentionally hurt your feelings.Hope it all works out for you...good luck and have a great day.

It's embarrassing, but life is bound to bring you an embarrassing situation once in awhile. It keeps you on your toes. 8)

Yes, I believe it was a mistake, but the fact that she said "you dare to ask me your gift..." That was a bit embarrassing... to tell you the truth.

Wow. Definitely a tough situation to experience. As already stated, she shouldn't have passed out the gifts to everyone except you. That is entirely rude and unacceptable. You were correct in making a joke about it because that's a somewhat innocent way of saying, "Hey, you didn't happen to get me one. What's the deal?" That's where she could've at least given the reason why. Is she a friend of yours?

Yes, she is a friend of mine. I joined the group 4months ago. well, it was eventually a tough situation that i had to faced by myself. Actually she didn't give a reason, she just say that "Thanks for reminding me..." Seems a strange response though

That is a weird response. Just shrug it off and don't dwell on it. I've been in situations like that before and you just need to move forward. Don't let it bother you.

In my opinion it is rude to ask about a gift, but it is doubly rude and insulting to give out gifts to everyone but one person. If this person didn't have a gift for you, she should have waited until you were not around, not start passing them out while you were there..

well.. i did find it neither rude nor insulting.. I just got a bit left apart because i was in the group quite long and I brought a friend of mine to the group only two times and he also received a gift.

I think that there are a few people that do not think about other people, when doing things.I think that people that leave a person out is not a so called friend at all and you are best to stay away from a person like that.I know a friend that felt very estranged from her friends at one stage, but now friends want to spend time with her rather than the person that caused alot of upset in the group they they were all in.

Well, I think i will give her a second chance, but if it happen that there is a second time, I will surely consider your suggestion. Thanks anyway.
