      what gave you life has unilateral right to take it away:

      If you actually gift something, you don’t retain rights in what was gifted, absent an express agreement to the contrary.

      haha, wonder if giving vs gifting confusion is the source of all resentment

      Say more? I definitely think people often label manipulation as giving/gifting. Instead of making explicit that they view the gift as a desire for trade, they call it a gift & then try to hold the recipient to their imagined contract or resent non-performance.

      i think the gifter/giver themselves often isn‘t clear if they are gifting or giving. most *think* they are gifting but are not. e.g. the same way not knowing how to love hurts someone, not knowing how to gift is indirectly the source of resentment

      and this doesn’t even include the receiver’s gift/giving misinterpretation! which maps to “you can’t be loved unless you let yourself be loved” a “right” gifting requires both gifter and receiver to BOTH know what they’re doing. which rarely happens

          I’m not grokking the distinction between giving and gifting.

          ah ic, i’m using “giving” to mean giving w true intent of gift but actually having a resentment response when the gift isn’t reciprocated. the strings that were attached were subconscious
