In the past, I was just a social novice. Even after working for several years, I was completely unaware of the importance of gifts in social interaction. It was not until I was interacting with a "new" friend that I realized Gifts also play a very important role in establishing a new friendship, and especially maintaining a friendship.
Reciprocity, giving and repaying between friends
Reciprocity between friends, is a process of giving and returning gifts that is constantly repeated.
Receiving gifts always makes people very happy, but if you don’t give anything to the other person, you will always feel guilty, so you will choose to give the other person a gift in return at the right time to comfort you. own guilt.
Then wait until the next holiday or some other reason, and the other party buys you a gift that happens to be your favorite recently, and then you have to return the gift... This continuous gift-giving and return of gifts intensifies invisibly. the emotional connection between you.
Reciprocity should be reciprocated, regardless of price.
Although the gift itself has a price, its value is given by people. As long as you put some thought into giving the gift, then the gift can be given a higher value.
In the process of reciprocating gifts, it is inevitable that the actual prices will not be equal, but it does not matter. As long as the gift is given with care and thought, it is worth it.
Reciprocity of courtesy, shared memories
The gifts generated from reciprocity of courtesy, when the conversation is accidentally mentioned one day in the future, no matter good or bad, they are the memories shared in the past.
Gifts, create a chat topic
When your friend really wants to buy something recently, and you happen to buy the gift for him at this critical moment, he will be surprised and happy when he receives the gift. Then, you can also have many topics to talk about regarding this gift.
In short, the opening of the topic is the beginning of further strengthening the emotional connection.
Gifts can also be just unilateral contributions
For some individual groups of people, they may simply like to give gifts to others, which can make them very happy, and the people who receive the gifts will naturally be happy as well.
Gifts can be intangible
Whether it is a physical gift or virtual emotional help, as long as it is given with sincerity, it can exist as a gift.
Gifts can be a tool for friends to maintain their emotions, but they may just be a choice for more hypocritical people to rely on each other.
For those who are more sincere and thoughtful, gifts will only be a bond of emotional connection.
