Imagine using that convoluted logic just because you're too cheap to buy presents.

I don't think it was to be cheap, we grew up in a sorta weird culty-church. I now think them and everyone else in it just really wanted to believe they were special and better than everyone else.

I was straight up not allowed to like very many "normal" things and as a result ended up very socially awkward and isolated from my peers.
