Ever feel like you have to buy people?

There's probably a better way to describe this but I feel like I try to buy the company or affection of others
with gifts or actions in the hopes they'll accept me or stick around. I think it stems from the fact that I probably don't have much to offer on my own as a person or maybe it's just how I perceive myself. God, I really hope it's the latter. Regardless it clearly doesn't work which is why I should probably stop for the sake of my own resources and well being. Beyond that I really do like helping people. It's not that I want something in return, I just wish I didn't feel so invisible ? Regardless of where I am. Online, offline etc.

Just a random thought, I wanted to share and get off my chest 😁
