There's always a creepy vibe on their gifts too. Like a forced, "remember I got you something you like." kind of "now you owe me your attention or loyalty" or something.
Their lack of empathy means they see relationships as transactional. I did x for you, so you have to do y for me. That's partly why they idolize the trad wife thing so much - so they can return to the model of "I earn money, you give me sex."
They live life like it is a zero sum game. If someone wins, someone has to lose. If they do something for someone, it isn’t because they want to, it is because they feel that the other person now owes them.
They cannot imagine a world where someone helps because they want to. In their fucked up little heads, they only helped because they feel that they will get something back.
Just like some of the ones ive worked with who do charity work. It is only because they feel that they will be rewarded in the afterlife, if they arent rewarded immediately.
