Time for Character Makeover?

I am seriously thinking of a character makeover after hearing what someone told me that I was like a loanshark. When people see me, they think of money. But thanks to this person, I think she helped me see the light. I wonder if most of my friends think that way.

Maybe I am too nice to help people to get their birthday wishes granted, I will usually ask the birthday boy or gal what they wanted as I have always been appointed the designated buyer since I worked in my current firm about two years ago. It ended up most of the time people get their wishes granted but some people in the gift-share did not say they had problems. I remember it happened a few times before, but I guess I didn't heed the signs. The problems are usually solved by me looking for a gift on a lower budget. Being the designated buyer, the good point is sourcing for bargains, but the bad point is u may lose friends if they feel u r too high.

Maybe I value my friends more than my relatives, that's the reason why I try to fufill my friends' wishes.

Maybe I am a practical person, I believe in giving things that people need to use.

Next time I should ask people " it is so & so bday/ whatever occassion, please let me know what is your budget for this person?"
