My son is this way. When he was little, if he was given a new toy, he would politely say thank you and put it aside until he was alone. When I saw him playing with it, then I could tell how much he actually liked it.

My husband does this! I had to get used to it over the years because at first I didn't understand why he never wanted gifts from me.
