I don't want to sound like a downer but you need to lower your expectations of other people. Don't expect them to care and if they do show appreciation then love it.

I never announce purchases, or improvements that I make on my home. They are my clients not my friends not my family. We are a business to them and just like any business make improvements on our business all the time. When I go into the grocery store I don't thank the owner for changing the light bulb putting in new lighting or buying new registers those are things that grocery store owners do to keep their business nice and their clients coming back.

No double standards, if you want to be treated like a business then you can't complain when they treat you like a business.
