What is your opinion on a sibling pressuring you into wearing clothes they bought for you as a gift, but you didn't want, by saying it was expensive?

That's such a tricky situation! While it's lovely that your sibling thought of you and bought a gift, the pressure to wear something you're not comfortable with can be stressful. I believe gifts should come with the freedom to enjoy them on your own terms. Maybe explaining your feelings kindly and suggesting the item might suit them better could ease the tension. Family dynamics can be delicate, but honest communication usually helps! How do you and your sibling usually handle such situations?

Luckily I have and will never have that issue. We have our own styles in clothes and no one ever buys cloths for eachother

I hate being pressured to do anything really but I've noticed that some people get a sense of ego boot or importance by seeing you wear things they give you.

If I give someone something, am not gonna be checking ever so often to see if they wear it but that's just me. I believe the person has the right to do whatever they wish with my gift.

I had that happen when I went to visit my cousin and aunt as a teenager. I weighed 120 pounds with a pretty face and my aunt who owned a law firm, kept trying to spend thousands buying me super expensive outfits and I kept resisting cause my parents told me not to accept expensive gifts from her. We were almost fighting in an angry way cause she wanted to buy me expensive clothes and I wanted cheap clothes you would find at Walmart or Target.

I'd wear them once or twice just to avoid hurting their feelings. They're not going about it the right way by pressuring or saying that but I guess their heart was in the right place.

Would not happen, none of us are like that, we never pressurise or expect each other to wear something bought for them.

I tell people I don't really use any of the gifts they give me, and I return them as soon as I receive them.

Because I enjoy more the lack of things. So better buy me chocolates please.
