@Corny  you did not come across as being obsessed with money at all. 

I love giving too ... particularly if I find something at random times that I know someone will find useful or has a particular need for and I do feel chuffed when I know the gift is loved and/ or appreciated.  I am not so fond of giving for the sake of giving (ie Christmas presents), yet I love Kris Kringle's (particularly if there is a funny theme, a low $$ limit or must be an op shop find rule).

Conversely, I am not so good at receiving ...

Surprise buying is the best. When you see something that reminds you of someone, and you get it on a whim, they are so surprised @Former-Member !

Gotta get past the first hurdle which is years of conditioning....baby steps I suppose. I am seeing gradual progress in the right direction.

I have to also learn to only surround myself with people that respect me fundamentally, and not conditionally.

Having a voice that was heard and that what I said mattered ...
