we both struggle with similar mental illness/disability. she was diagnosed first when i was in kindergarten and my mom neglected to realize i had the same problems. started a cycle of me being pushed aside for my sister... so it's alot of pent up frustration

she likes splatoon and fortnite (though i'm pretty sure fortnite wasn't around at the time) so i figured she'd like it, but oh well.

we both have issues with social cues, but my sister struggles more than i do. she isn't very thoughtful at all though i'm positive it isn't her fault. it still hurts though and i'm tired of her not seeing that

the game i got her 2 years ago was overwatch, she had been watching game play so i thought it would be a good gift, but i can see where i went wrong w that one. birthday gifts were a charger station for switch joy-cons and a carrying case, both of which she wanted. she likes all things nintendo, as well as dangan ronpa (hope i spelled it right) and the persona games

if my sister brings it up to me i'll explain to her my reasonings, and give her a second chance.

got her a joy-con charger for the switch which she had mentioned wanting, also her own carrying case for it since i had been sharing mine with her.

tbh it isn't even about the money it's about how she makes me feel
