So one of the two immediate family members I talk to randomly said they had a gift they wanted to send me.
I maintain boundaries with this person because I tbh don't know their real intentions w/me. It's like we've had a cordial enough relationship and a weird familial bond but I don't know how well I can trust them. They've said things that have given me red flag but we both have dysfunctional background so I try not to judge.
Luckily I have a PO box cause no one is getting my home address. Shameless hypervigilence. But I feel like it could be a long con to manipulation.
This is actually been difficult for me in general to receive in the past because of not knowing a person's intentions. Receiving a gift almost feels like a contract to me and always 2nd guessing the agenda of giver.
Has anyone else had this experience and how do you deal with it?
