I am someone who will give a gift just because I think the person will like it, with no expectation of getting anything back, just to see them smile. For many years I always gave friends birthday presents and never noticed or thought about whether I got any back. Sadly I can't afford to do that right now, but not everyone gives with an associated cost. I'm sorry your life experiences have led you to expect that.
