Title: Do u like to receive things from others?
Post by: 老曾记 on Feb 25, 2025, 08:54 AM
Recently I realise I don't like to receive things from friends and others, new or used.

It's things that I never requested for and if I don't use it I will waste it. It makes me feel like I'm oweing them unnecessarily.

I don't mind dumpster diving for food that stuff that I think I can eat.

How to reject them nicely?

For anyone who believes in fengshui, after I don't keep so much things at home. My luck seems to improve.

I don't really believe in fengshui. But I noticed some correlation between messy home and bad luck.

That's so kind of you! However, I'm in a phase where I'm trying to reduce my possessions :flash:

It depends

If from loved ones then of cos I like it

Then if it's a gift or treat with agenda then different story
