clothing is the absolute worst gift to ever get because its always either something you already own a better version of (they got it because it looks like something youd wear... because you already own one) OR something id never wear in a billion years (they got it because they're confident that you dont own one already. and somehow that makes it a gift you want. because clearly everyone needs to own at least one of everything in existence)

#YES THIS APPLIES TO SOCKS TOO #name ONE time ive worn brightly patterned socks in public? oh? you cant think of a time ive worn them?? SO DONT FUCKING BUY ME ANY #also. i owned two pink sweaters!!! i didnt need another pink sweater! especially one thats an uglier shade of pink and doesnt fit me right #sorry my mom bought me socks on her trip and i finally washed them the other day (and i just folded them)#and having to cram them into my drawer filled me with rage #and it reminded me that ive never enjoyed or worn any item of clothing my mom has bought me except for last christmas #when i very specifically asked for plain neutral colored wool socks and she actually got me plain neutral colored wool socks #(a couple pairs were blue but theyre not garrish so its excusable)#((but. ive only worn the blue ones once (when all the gray ones were dirty) hm i wonder why))#nyway i got to thinking abt this ugly pink sweater that takes up too much space or this weird polyester suede-esque forest green button up #and its just. i do understand the thought but also you don't know me at all if you think im going to enjoy these things #and that applies to 90% of the gifts ive ever gotten #i hate little trinkets i hate stuffed animals im so sick of scented candles i own too much lotion i own too many things. period.#i dont want things!!! and i dont know how to get that across to people #im seriously going to have to enforce a ''if you buy me a physical object i will literally refuse to take it'' rule #with maybe a handmade objects exception. and art excluded as well obviously.#art is nice! how come more people don't gift art???
