A friend bought a brand name for his birthday. Do you have to buy it back?

* * Consult from DM * *

Let me know that we and our friends have been close friends in college for 5 years. Now we work both but we earn less than our friends because our friends make big companies and better positions. Society should be different. We see friends use expensive things. We do not think that friends will buy brand names as gifts when we are shocked. Because we have known each other since college, we have never received anything like this. But we feel that if we have to buy them back, we do not have the power to buy them. But if not buying them back, it looks ugly? What do friends think?# Friend problem # Gift # Relationship love story # Consult love # Lemon 8 invites

... Read moreเมื่อได้รับของขวัญแบรนด์เนมจากเพื่อนสนิทโดยเฉพาะในโอกาสวันเกิด มันสร้างความรู้สึกทั้งดีใจและกังวลใจไปพร้อมกัน เหมือนประสบการณ์ของหลายคนที่พบว่าเพื่อนที่มีฐานะดีกว่าให้ของขวัญชิ้นใหญ่จนทำให้เกิดคำถามว่าเราควรซื้อของขวัญตอบแทนไหม หรือถ้าเราไม่มีงบประมาณเพียงพอจะจัดการกับสถานการณ์อย่างไรดี ในมุมมองของผม การรับของขวัญไม่ควรถูกมองเป็นภาระหรือกติกาที่ต้องซื้อของขวัญกลับเสมอไป หากเพื่อนเป็นคนเลือกซื้อแบรนด์เนมหรือของมีมูลค่าสูงเพราะอยากแสดงความรักและความใส่ใจ การตอบแทนด้วยใจหรือการขอบคุณอย่างจริงใจก็เพียงพอแล้ว ผมเคยเจอสถานการณ์คล้ายๆ กันเพื่อนซื้อกระเป๋าแบรนด์เนมให้วันเกิด ทั้งๆ ที่รายได้ผมไม่สูงนัก ผมเลือกที่จะตอบแทนด้วยของขวัญชิ้นเล็กๆ ที่มีความหมายหรือทำกิจกรรมร่วมกันแทนที่จะแข่งขันทางมูลค่า สิ่งที่สำคัญคือความตั้งใจและความจริงใจไม่ใช่ราคา นอกจากนี้ ผมแนะนำให้สื่อสารกับเพื่อนอย่างเปิดใจ หารือความรู้สึกของตัวเองและสอบถามความคาดหวังว่าการให้ของขวัญในครั้งนี้มีความหมายอย่างไร เพราะในบางครั้งเพื่อนอาจแค่ต้องการให้ความสุขและไม่มีความคาดหวังเรื่องการตอบแทน สุดท้าย การรักษาความสัมพันธ์และความรู้สึกดีระหว่างเพื่อนสำคัญกว่าการมอบของขวัญเป็นสองเท่า หากคุณรู้สึกกังวลใจหรือไม่สบายใจกับสถานการณ์นี้ การแชร์ความรู้สึกกับเพื่อนและหาทางออกที่เหมาะสมร่วมกันน่าจะเป็นทางเลือกที่ดีที่สุดครับ
