shouldnt lifting heavy things be done using back muscles? Like in deadlifting

  A better way to state it is to say you should learn how to brace properly with your abdominals when lifting heavy. As for the muscles involved, a deadlift isn’t just back or legs or core, it’s all of those. Your Glutes and hamstrings are the “prime movers” that perform the actual movement, while you back and “core” musculature are bracing and stabilizing, allowing the movement to be translated into Bar movement.

Any suggestions for #11? I loathe receiving gifts for this reason despite giving them out often.

  1. Smile. 2. Make a positive remark on how you'll use or enjoy the gift. 3. Say "thank you".

  More important than the gift itself is that someone made the effort.

  First, the best way to start a conversation is to inquire about the other person. Make them feel good by asking about them. In English, there is an acronym you can use (H-E-L-P) that has been around for a long time. Start a conversation with words that start with “H” first, like “health,” “home,” etc. And then move on to “E” words, etc. Have fun!!
